You guys ever look at your Social Security Statement

Recommended Posts

At 51, I'm kinda supposed to. Couple weeks ago I looked and for whatever reason, in 1993 I show $0 in income. Weird. I know SSI uses 35 years of salary history and I intend to beat that, but still.

Have you ever had to correct something with them? Is it difficult like I would expect a gubbermint agency to be?

I assume the number was based on income tax returns. Maybe let the sleeping dog lie.

I bartended only. I asked them to write me a check so I could file taxes.

 

The other money for those years, was from working at a sporting goods store

It is. they get their data from the IRS. But I filed taxes. I remember they had me mixed up with another person. Can't remember how I found that out but I did. So she (her name was Hazel) got my income for 1993.

AT 62 I'll get $2,000+ a month. At 67 I think it's $2,800+ a month and at 72 it's like $3,200 a month. I'm retiring at 62 though.

 

you can "retire" at 62, but still work, just can't earn too much

Retiring at 62 sounds great until you realize the cost of health insurance eats up your savings in a blink of an eye.

Ok, so you knew why then. I was assuming you didn't understand why it stated 0 income.

I made income in 1993, but it was reported to SSI from the IRS that I did not. So yes, I don't understand why SSI has it as making no money in 1993

Ok. Yes, I'd get it fixed. It will be a pain in the ass likely but worth the effort in my opinion.
