My social security in 2025 was $2309 monthly. The city listed the rebates | received as income -- $3796 for the year 2025. That makes the total income $32,504 for 2025. (Starting in 2026 | now have a monthly pension income of $232.) Each month | take money from my Bank of America account and deposit it into the credit union to cover my home and auto insurance payments. | did not point that out so | believe they counted that as income in both accounts. | listed my mortgage insurance as $35.40 per month but | didn’t specify that it is paid to Minnesota Life. The city noted that as life insurance but it's not a| policy | can turn in for cash. The city also had a question about my payments to Goldman Sachs. Those payments were for my GM credit card which has now been taken over by Barclays. On the coldest day of 2025 my furnace quit working and was red tagged.
