I just heard that it is officially 109 in Austin. WHEW! Thank goodness for good air conditioning.
Well what do you know, I got to talk to the VA TODAY!!! When I called them back trying to get an appointment after class on Thursday, I got a recording saying the wait time was 30 minutes, but if I wanted to leave my number, they would call me back when I got to the top of the wait line. WAHOOOO!
When they called me back I found out that I DO get to keep the check they sent over the weekend. Turns out they direct deposited Gary's check on June 1 AND they sent me the check over the weekend - so both checks were for May, thus, I was double paid and they will simply retract the check out of my account that they direct deposited. Now, wouldn't it have been easier to just let me keep the check they had ALREADY DEPOSITED, rather than sending me a paper check and then retracting the direct deposit check??? Oh well, everything is OK and I have a check that I didn't expect to get. I thought they would NOT pay for the month Gary died, but they did, so that is a gift in my eyes!
