A 84-year-old grandmother Mamie Walker has not been received her monthly social security check, which is the Tampa, Florida native only source of funds.

The government claims she owes hundreds of thousands for her college education. However, Walker claims she never even attended college. The last two months, she has not received her monthly $1,498 check and got a letter claiming that “collection action” has been taken against her because she owed the Treasury Department $224,414.50.

The grandmother has been told that she won’t be receiving another check until Sept. 2031.

“I’ll probably be dead by then,” Walker told News Channel 8. “I’m so scared. I don’t sleep at night because I’m so scared next week … my lights are going to be off.”

Walker’s son Morrison Walker has attempted to notify the Treasury Department of the error.

“I work and I try my best to help her with her bills, but now this done happened and I have my own bills, and she don’t have no income and now they’re trying to put eviction on her house, her water bill skyrocketed, her lights are going to get cut off,” Walker said
