Mr. Larry!!!! I have your book about maximizing your Social Security. The only thing I comprehend is that I should wait!!!!!!!!! My birth date is 01-31-1956. Getting to my question: I happened upon a fella on the computer. He claims you can get more money by putting one specific word on your S.S. application. I feel like I can hear scraping chalk on the board!!! My imagination is running wild, Larry! Please have someone call me and tell me...... IS THAT WORD "SCAM" ????? Loretta

Hi Loretta,

I worked for Social Security for 36 years, and I don't know of any magic words that would get you more benefits.

Best, Jerry
