Jerry -

You were 100% correct. Your instructions were followed and went to the SS office on the 17th and got things straightened out. The wrong month of entitlement was put into the online form. Thanks for your help. It was appreciated.

"I can assure you that you would be entitled to a check for October 2016 if you turn age 70 on October 29th. If someone at Social Security told you otherwise, they are wrong. The only other explanation would be if you chose November as your month of election to start benefits when you filed your application. If that's the case, you should contact Social Security ASAP to change your month of election to October. Best, Jerry"
