SSI

My metal SS card has an Eagle with an American Flag on both sides of it, and now I see you can purchase these metal SS cards online for about $10.

Online is really where you want your number!

Phishing scams are getting hard to recognize. I never open anything any more that I don't initiate. Scammers are getting slicker.

Gullible people will bite often enough to keep the scammers interested.

like pulling teeth but it looks like I got it finally, online. should get ss in my account any day now. really pays off to wait until age 66. my amount is about $400 plus a month over age 62, now I just need to live for another 8 or 10 years. should get $1614 a month. Between navy retirement, va disability and ss, almost making more per money per month than I every did working. next goal is to work getting a small retirement from working three and half years at kawneer when it was a union shop before closing and bought out by acola. might be good for $40 or $40 a month.

I'll have to disagree there. Based on that number you would have been getting about $1K/mo so you missed out on about $48K over the last 4 years. That's an amount most people won't be able to recover unless they live into their 80s or 90s.

But it's a personal decision.

The lines still cross at about age 78.

SS increase for next year announced ... 1.3%

Not much, but some were saying there wouldn't be any increase at all.
