Inside it says that I must reply within 10 days if there are any changes to my info. Failure to do so could result in the cancellation of a medical supplies grant.
Fortunately, the info is correct, but holy hell, I can’t imagine the BS that someone would have to go through if they “failed” to reply because of this delay.
I often get letters from gov offices that say “We have sent you something. Be sure to watch for it. No action is needed now.” AFTER I’ve already gotten the thing.
That’s almost as bad as getting a tracking number with a “Your item has shipped!” email, days after you already received the item. Thanks, no thanks!
I actually had that happen once.
Is the postage dated? Like when the letter was actually processed by the mail service? Also does the text say ‘within 10 days of receipt’?

The letter is dated from March, but the printed stamp on the envelope is from a few days ago. LOL
Also does the text say ‘within 10 days of receipt’? No, word for word:
“You are required to inform us within 10 days, at the above address if you change your address or Bank Account Number.” etc…
Ah, well if the scenario ever occurs that you DID need to make a change you can likely use the postage date but its good that you dont have to deal with that this time!
I’ve never had a two months delay, but government offices are typically understanding about getting something at or a little past the due date because everyone knows the mail sucks.
This is with the federal government, so I think they’d be understanding.
But I’ve read stories during past postal strikes where municipalities made it clear that bills, fines, tickets, etc. MUST be paid, regardless of whether the mail is being delivered or not. No mercy! LOL
Then you have banks, that do maintenance at night, when I have time to actually catch up on bills and stuff, and insist that you do everything online. It’s like these people don’t even use their own products/services/systems.
