Mrs. J is an 82-year-old widow who has a rare and debilitating type of arthritis. Mrs. J’s next-door neighbor cooks and cleans for her twice a week.  Mrs. J has maintained a very close friendship with Mr. D, her former high school sweetheart. Mr. D is single and lives in a nearby retirement facility.  He calls Mrs. J several times a week, and patiently listens to her as she talks about her children and grandchildren.  Recently, Mrs. J received a letter from the Social Security Administration informing her that her benefits would be terminated at the end of the month due to her failure to provide verification of her annual income.  Mrs. J immediately did what she usually does when she receives something in the mail that she does not understand—she called the Director of the local Community Senior Citizen Program.
