The max early SS retirement penalty is 30% at age 62.JohnnyYou » Today, 8:59 am » wrote: ↑ LOL.. I am succumbing to geriactricism., I think I know what to do. 35% Penalty is on. I am considering getting the SSB's while they still exist.
I created an acount but there is no way to prove online in the modern era that my SSN is actually alive and kicking without going to the SS Office. The dumb azzes just gave me a pretty god tax return.
There was something about the post office could do it. Bro is in hospice with us at home, he is our two man lift duty, I am tethered to the house. An hour and half to go to town is hard to find right now. All I wanted was my benefits statement today to start considering the option. I guess it's safe to talk about here because Pedro won't be able to steal my identity. Maybe the in person thing isn;t so bad for everyone, and just an incovenience for me at the moment.
Bureaucratic hoops. Trump is not reducing them.. That costs money. Someone physically has to staff the office that is prbably 100 miles away from people in rural areas.. They wont have enough gas money to get their retirement.
It really doesn't matter. The reset is coming and money will be useless. LIQT ain't around.. He must be scramblng through his hedges in hi anxiety.. Elon done shyt his bed bad.
It is a little more difficult to log into SS these days but definitely seems more secure. Took me a couple of times to get it done with the SS App on phone. Selfie and picture of drivers license. I already knew what the number was approximately as I checked it since I was 50.
Personally, I would take it as soon as possible. I have little faith in politicians fixing this train wreck.
I totally get the burden of caring for a family member. Mom turns 86 in June, perfect health, no medications, just a mind going to mush. We pretended there was an emergency and she needed to call me. She couldn't do it. Yes, I definitely limit the time I'm gone from the house.
Politics aside, Family comes first!
