My wife has received an indirect communication that the Commonwealth of Mass needs to prove she is alive. They have a form she needs to fill out and have notarized that she still lives in Mass. Well we do, sort of. We spend part of the year in the D.R. and the other part in Mass at the same residence we have had for years. If the form is not completed on time as they request she is in jeopardy of losing her state pension. (We have yet to see the form, only know of it) The kicker is that we do not expect to return to Mass until next Spring.
My question is: does the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo have a notary service? We have discussed this and feel we would have a better chance to resolve this matter presenting her identification documents and the form, when we receive it, to the Embassy to be notarized there, rather than chance it with a Dominican notary or going to the expense of traveling back to the U.S. to take care of the matter.
What are our options? Regards, PJT
