Medicare

The difference between skilled care and custodial care and why the second is excluded by statute, the four conditions on a covered nursing facility stay and the daily skilled requirement that usually ends one, observation status and how it quietly disqualifies a hospital stay, the dental, vision and hearing exclusions with the narrow carve-outs inside each, why care abroad is not covered, and the missing annual out-of-pocket maximum that sits underneath all of it.

Scams and fraud
Monitoring tells you it happened. A freeze stops it happening.
Why a freeze prevents what monitoring only reports, the statutory deadlines a credit bureau has to meet to place and lift one, the protected consumer rules that let a representative freeze the file of someone under a guardianship, the three systems a freeze does not protect, the six-digit tax PIN that any person can request whether or not they file, why claiming an unused government account is itself a lock, and the two free habits that reduce how much of your information is in circulation.

Scams and fraud
A court order arrives at the bank. Two months of federal benefits are protected before anyone asks.
The account review a bank must run within two business days and the six things it has to ignore while running it, the protected amount that nobody has to claim and that no garnishment fee may touch, why direct deposit matters and which single document takes an account outside the rules, the one statute that can reach a Social Security payment and the annual exemption inside it, the written letter that stops contact, the thirty days that are not a pause, and the threat that is itself a violation.
