Can SSI substitute employment years?
I am 69 years old and have been receiving SSI since I was 65 and I am still working. In most of my employment years, my income was not that great and those were the years that SSI used to calculate my monthly check. But in recent years my income is much better. My question is can SSI substitute some of my recent employment years for some of the poor income years so I can receive a larger monthly check?

I’m turning 70 July 1, 2021. Can I request my retirement benefits to begin June 2021, in order to get my maximum benefits?

If I stop working at age 63 but delay taking SS benefits until age 67, how is the benefit increase calculated for that four year period?

Hi,

Hi Larry. I am currently 68.5, financially comfortable, single, and without a significant longevity gene. I have been planning to take Social Security at age 70. However, there’s quite a bit of chatter online about increasing the retirement age which would could reduce the payout at 70. Should I take Social Security earlier, perhaps at 69? Or is it likely safe to wait until 70? Thanks a bunch.

Hi,

I just started receiving early SS benefits this year 2020 in June at age 63. I am continuing to work, I also have 12 years of zero income years showing on my SS earnings record. As I continue to work, when would these new earnings be added to and increase my SS monthly benefit?
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,

I quit my engineering job a year and a half ago to stay home and take care of our child. My husband continues to work full time. If I go back to work part time, how will that impact my social security benefits? I am wondering if it would be better for me to stay home until I can go back to my engineering job full time or if working part time in a lower paying job for a few years wouldn't hurt my social security benefits. I am over 50. Who should I seek out to get help with retirement planning? Thank you

Hi,

Hi Larry, I started collecting ss benefits at 62. i continued to work always under the max amount. I am now 66 ( full retirement age ) and thinking of quitting work altogether. Will i get an increase in my ss benefits ?

Hi,

Social deposited $114.00 in my wifes name and $327.00 in my name on October 19th , 2020 what was this for?

Hi,

There are a number of reasons why you may have received an extra payment from Social Security. It's likely an adjustment payment of some sort, and the most common types of adjustments are caused by automated recomputations to include additional earnings.

I was born in 1951
How can I calculate my PIA and does the amount increase if I don’t start claiming benefits until age 70
From age 66 to 70 I have continued to work and my wages exceed the maximum social security wage amount
thank you

Hi,

Hello Sir;
I will be receiving $1200/ month as a pension from my job when I retire soon at age 70. Will this reduce my monthly social security benefits.
Another question:
I am still working at age 69, but I did not get any credits in my social security benefits since I reached age 66. I just got the 8% increase in January. I called SSA, but no body gave me a convincing anser. What Should I do.
Thanks for your help.
