    Neither. There is no defamation here at all. As for harassment, you would have to prove that the clerk knew that you were still on SSI and deliberated put you in for termination.

    This should be pretty simple. Get a statement from SSI showing you are still on disability and forward copies to the clerk, their supervisor and the termination people.

    First, there are rules about language on this site.

    Second, we pride ourselves on the accuracy of the advise we give. Whether the clerk as nice or not does not matter here. Legally there was nothing to show defamation or harassment. Please don't answer questions like this based on sentiment.

    I agree. This could be a case of identity theft and needs to be looked into. If someone is working under the OP's SS number then the disability would stop when the limit is reached. And all benefits would stop.

    To OP:

    You need to look into all of this including getting credit reports on yourself from all the agencies and make sure your not a victim of indentity theft. It happens every day.
