I retired with civil service retirement and have 30 quarters of social security and don't plan on adding any more quarters. Is there some way my wife can add these 30 quarters to her social security for her retirement. Thank you.
Hi,
No. Social Security earnings credits earned by one person cannot be shared with or transferred to another person.
Best, Jerry
I'm 65 At my benefit, retired, and also an amputee with military support from (a) spouse. My nephew a SSI beneficiary can be my caregiver. Can't my nephew get an additional payment?
Hi,
My husband and I each received an additional (smaller amount) deposit this week from Social Security. We have no idea why. When I noticed the first deposit I assumed it was some type of error. Then I found the second. These deposits go to two different financial institutions. I tried calling the SSA but the hold time was more than I could manage that day. Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Hi,
Hello Larry and Jerry,
Just a general question I haven't seen an answer for elsewhere. Does a person's ssa.gov/myaccount page update on an annual basis to reflect DRC accruals along with showing an annual COLA adjustment that takes effect in January (provided there is one)?
Thanks,

My grandson struggles with adhd in school and at home. He is special ed. and dislexia. Would I be able to collect some type of financial help for him due to my age being 59 and I am out of work at this time. I also struggle with depression, as well as adhd
Hi,
I purchased your book several years ago...and LOVE it - tagged many pages...and refer to it (and to others) often...it's become my SS bible. Sadly, though, I'm unable to find a definitive answer to what I consider a very simple question...so, I write to ask your help. I turn 70 in Feb 2021 and plan to begin drawing SS around that time. We maintain a family HSA (hi-D eligible) through my husband's employer. We make our own direct contributions and declare them on our yearly tax returns).
I was born in 1953. Currently getting spousal benefits. Want to switch to my own at 70 but on the my ssa website it no longer gives me an estimate of what by own benefits will be. I thought I filed a restricted application
Hi,
Hi Larry. Bought and read your "Get What's Yours" in 2015 to plan for our S.S. . Wife, lower wage earner, started her benefit early @62 in 2019. I was age 66 on 5Dec2019. I submitted a restricted application for spousal benefits only on 13Dec2020.-Letter from S.S. confirms spousal benefit only and want to delay mine until later. Started getting that payment in Jan2020.
