Keith is right. Just wait. This is the response that I received from the US Embassy in Costa Rica where all matters associated with social security benefits are handled: "Thank you for contacting the Federal Benefits Unit at the U.S. Embassy. The Foreign Enforcement Program will start late these year due to COVID-19. We are not collecting this form yet and we have not send it either. Benefits won’t be suspended because of this form this year. For general information, the Foreign Enforcement Questionnaire is mailed to the beneficiaries or representative payee in May/June of each year. Beneficiaries with social security numbers ending 00-49 must submit their enforcement questionnaire in even numbered years. Beneficiaries with social security numbers ending in 50-99 must submit their enforcement questionnaire in odd numbered years. Beneficiaries with a representative payee and 90 years or older must complete the form annually." Thanks/Gracias FBU, San Jose Region RSRinbox/637"

The shop was open in Dolega up to a few weeks ago and now is gone. The building is empty. That's why I was wondering what happened to it. Thank you.

Does anybody know what happened to The Bookmark bookstore in Dolega? Did he relocate? If so, where is he now? Or did he close the shop? Thank you. Bill

In order to renew your license you have to set up an appointment first. The problem is that if your license expires in August (like mine), there are no more appointments available in August. So, if you make an appointment for September, your license has already expired. So I brought up this problem to Sertracen (ATTT) and all they had to say was "sorry for the inconvenience". Big help! There's a way to renew the license at their website https://www.sertracen.com.pa/ where you can attach any documents that are necessary for the renewal and can even take the two tests, audio and visual. The thing is that everything is in Spanish and you have to figure out how everything works, even if you know Spanish, as there are no instructions anywhere. Trial and error. So good luck.

If someone has to drive another person from Boquete to Tocumen to catch a flight how can one travel across several provinces to reach the airport. And how does the driver get back to Boquete? Does some government agency issue a "salvoconducto"? And which agency does it? Thank you.

The best place to find the tax forms (all of them) and to make the payment fast, most of the time no lines or very short ones, is at the Caja de Ahorro, across the street from Super Baru in Boquete.

This is a tank, not an SUV. In my opinion, the designers of the RAV-4 have destroyed the good looks of this vehicle. It wouldn't surprise me if potential buyers decide to switch to the Honda CR-V instead.

Does anybody know of an ebanista in the Boquete-David area who works with mimbre (wicker)? I need 4 chairs that need replacement of the back and sides (all one single piece of mimbre). Thank you. Bill

Thank you all.

Thank you Bonnie. Do they refill your own tank or do you have to buy a new one or exchange it? This tank is for a BBQ so it has different kind of fitting than just a regular butane tank.

Does anybody know where a propane gas tank can be refilled around Boquete? Thank you.

Bud, I don't think that the problem is with your cable box. We have experienced intermittent audio problems with Fox Channel as well. And, in a couple of instances, we lost the video signal when all the other channels were working OK. I think it's a Fox transmission problem or, for some reason, a Cable Onda problem that only affects channel 61.

Also, the website address is http://www.tribunal-electoral.gob.pa/direccion-superior/secretaria-general/ if you need more information. Regards, Bill
