ME/CFS San Diego are patients and/or caregivers sharing information, support for each other, and education about Myalgic Encephalitis/ Chronic Fatigue SyndromemecfsSanDiego.com San Diego, CAJoined July 2020
Starting Sept 30, 2025, the govt will stop mailing paper checks for Social Security, SSDI & SSI. ME/CFS patients must switch to direct deposit or Direct Express to keep benefits. Call SSA: 1-800-772-1213 or visit ssa.gov. Please share widely!
