My social security benefits were calculated January 4/2023, to begin that same month. The estimate of $2976 is exactly the same amount I had been tracking on my online account in December 2022. I have requested a reconsideration beacuse the December online amount which matches the amount on the benefits letter does not reflect the COLA increase. Is my reasoning correct and can I expect a reconsideration in my favor? Thank you

Hi. Without knowing your full Social Security covered earnings history, I have no way of knowing what your correct benefit amount should be. Therefore, I can't tell you whether or not you can expect a favorable reconsideration determination.
