Thanks! I might actually get to keep some of the increase for a change. Maybe.

Requires entering one's social security number.....Pass.
I can wait until it comes in the mail like it does every year.

You don't want to use your SS# to log into the SSA website????? I assure you, SSA already knows your SS#

probably a good policy

Thanks but I did so a few days ago after I received an email from SS. It was bad news, a $100 reduction in my monthly allotment. IRMAA is the thieving culprit.

I hope you at least have an online account and access at MySSA. One may not be computer literate or comfortable with online anything, but making sure YOUR MySSA account is yours and active prevents anyone else from making one in lieu of you and impersonating you to wreak havoc with your benefits.

I know of at least one case where someone did not have an MySSA account. Some random person in another state fraudulently set one up instead. That random person then directed the benefits be deposited another bank (same as having your checks mailed to them instead of you), and made use of the money. It took them a few months to sort it out and get things back to the way they were.

Caveat Emptor.
Ignorance can be painful.
Good security is neither cheap nor convenient.

It happens when you're earning more than $91,000 in a given year. Call yourself Lucky and be thankful you aren't like the rest of us common folk.

SCAM ALERT - I went to SSA, not via his link, and the increase was not on the SSA site. BEWARE any link.

Any real government site will have .gov in the address. Plus the log in page address should start with www.http.

Should look something like www.-----.gov

You don’t need to type www or http all you need to do is type ssa.gov/myaccount/

The link that was posted is the correct SSA link.
Maybe you were scammed?
