Vic - I would go the the SSA in person and ask them to check on this. Depending on how long ago you filed, it MAY be legitimate, but it's best to check it out before touching it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
I have spent many days down there trying to sort it all out, Tom. No letter in today's mail. The problem is, I have been told different things at different times by different people down there. I have no idea what amount is right any more. The last time I went down there I had to pay $3900 in overpayments to my daughter's survivor benefits, but was told they owed me $6000 on my retirement benefits. Earlier, they told me they owed her $15,000 on her survivor benefits. Maybe I'll get a letter soon explaining it all. If not, back to the SSA office. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
