It counts.

In addition, SSA also claws back any money from the current month's payment. My mother died on December 30th, 2023; not only wasn't her SSA payment direct deposited in January, they withdrew the money from the December payment from her account.

And lo, as foretold, a PC researched a MacGuffin she stole in backstory, and thus came to meet Master Ferahgan, a scholar from the Feywild. Also, an adorable cat, in a red fez and bowtie

I believe there are a few people with questions? About tariffs and stuff? 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, if you could get this <gestures at existence> straightened out by Monday, that'd be great?
