An unexpected deposit for $3400 showed up in my account. A week later, it is still there. Called the SS office to see what was going on.
My account has been reviewed. In their infinite wisdom, they decided that I was only kidding when I told them to start my payments in June, I really wanted them to start in March, when I actually quit work. So, they calculated the extra payments and reduced benefits, and sent the money.
Well, great. Yes, if I invested this money in a good dividend stock, I would be money ahead over the next 9 years. But that first year, I had to give almost all of my ss back because I had made over a certain amount of money. So if this payment is for 3 months of that year, is the IRS going to want its money back?
Plus leaving me with reduced benefits?
Good freaking grief. I am going to the SS office tomorrow, giving them a check, and telling them to put the damned paperwork back the way I filed it.
