Claim: Thud

We received a disappointing claim resolution from NBIC. I’ve asked the mason and the contractor for input. Our agency has promised to negotiate on our behalf.

Ron got an adjustment from his FSA at Cal to cover the premiums he paid for out of pocket for 2019. Our elections for 2020 were such that we have a sufficient balance to cover all his medical and prescription plan premiums this year. First time in six years.

This happened because he failed to claim $3,000, my allocation, in 2014 and 2015 because he didn’t understand how the plan works, stupidly assumed I “didn’t need insurance” and missed the 2015 deadline by a hair because he ignored my request to check into it. So, I’ve been paying out of pocket for my coverage ever since and we’ve been playing “catch up”.

I ordered cucumber, kale, chard and shade flower seeds today.

Both Ron and I were subject to abuse by trolls on the Mashpee Message FB page. I am vindicated by the fact that my post received 35 thumbs up to their 6, half of whom don’t even live here. Makes me feel better.
