Wish I could give a zero
Wish I could give a zero. Other posts are correct. They deny everything with insufficient explanations. You then provide what they say will resolve the issue then deny again. The responses take several days and are never clear. If you call, the call taker blocks you from speaking to decision makers.
No satisfaction - No resolution

Set up an appointment 3 weeks in advanced (earliest open). Via Benefits has you call them at appointment times and their menu has one pick, english or spanish.

It's really incomprehensible.
