Hi, you really helped me when I turned 60 with my widow's benefit. Now I am in real mess with SSA. I really need an independent look at my benefit calculation. I signed up for SS last Feb at age 68 and the person that figured my amount was at best incompetent. It has been recalculated twice once there was an increase of 16$ this last one was for 6$. I am hoping you can look at my record and see what is what. Also, am I due the amounts on my past checks for the errors?

Hi. Our software (https://maximizemysocialsecurity.com/purchase) includes a Social Security benefit calculator, so if you have access to a copy of your Social Security earnings history then you could calculate your benefit rate using our calculator. And, yes, if Social Security underpaid you in the past due to a calculation error then they should pay you any back pay that you have coming.

Best, Jerry
