With the SSA, paper is King. If you ever have to deal with them over a serious money issue, you want to have saved, in order, every single piece of paper they have sent you. You want to have copies of everything you have sent them, with Return Receipts attached to your copies. It could cost you thousands of dollars if you aren't organized.
I made a small mistake once, and then SSA made a BIG mistake. They charged me $21,363.79. After 18 months of ripping out hair and weeks on the phone and in person, I managed to find two kind women who took action to get it reduced to $3000.00. I still had to pay that. AND this was long before C19 started.
When is the madness going to stop? When we phase out Social Security by attrition. "As of 1/1/2023, midnight, anyone born after this time is ineligible for SS benefits. Anyone alive before this time with the benefit gets to keep it, until, by attrition, they die." First kill Social Security. Then kill Medicare. Then kill Medicaid. All the same format. No one alive loses their benefit. But the next generation born will be born knowing there is no safety net. You know what? They will learn how to balance the game of life very well!
