They’re dealing with Iron-Lady
I don’t know as I have this exactly right, but I will try.
What Social Security does is completely unfathomable, and I’ve received various interpretations thereof.
My understanding of events is questionable.
On July 10, 2009 we received a mysterious and unexpected electronic deposit to our checking-account for $910.50 from Social Security.
We e-mailed the bank, asking what it was, and they said call Social Security.
Then a letter arrived from Social Security, saying Linda had been overpaid $180 for 2007, $181 in 2008, and $96 so far in 2009, and underpaid $1436 in 2006.
Therefore they owed us $910.50. —MAKE SENSE OF THAT! (I get $979 — where’s the 50¢?)
I could make snide remarks about REPUBLICAN MATH, but this is Social Security, not Sarah Palin.
Least understandable is Social Security’s decision to pay benefits for all of 2006.
This is despite her applying for Social Security January 27 of that year.
Her first Social Security payment was to be for March of 2006; and that’s when it was.
I turned 62 February 5, 2006; and Linda January 2, 2006.
Our guess is Social Security thought she retired on that date, but she didn’t.
She retired January 31, 2006.
Which means she worked at West Publishing all that month.
Which is why we both applied for Social Security January 27, to start benefits in March. —So our Social Security benefits wouldn’t be effected by her working.
So now Social Security claims she made too much in a month they erroneously claim she was retired.
As a result, they wanna reduce her initial benefit amount, and those following; yet pay the two months they claim she was retired, but wasn’t.
$910.50 doesn’t offset reducing her benefits down-the-road.
We have copies of her application January 27, 2006, W-2s, etc. etc. —Is that all fathomable by Social Security?
We both have a college education.
Granny would be lost. She’d take the $910 and the slightly reduced benefits.
My ability to deal with this sort of insanity is a bit compromised by my stroke, but I suppose if they had done it to me, I’d react the same way.
They’re dealing with Iron-lady. Hup-hup!
To me this is similar to paying off Godfather.
We shouldn’t have to reward their capricious stupidity. (We gotta move heaven-and-earth.)

• “Linda” is my wife of 41+ years. Like me she’s retired, but she works part-time at the West Bloomfield post-office. We both collect Social Security.
• At first it was Lawyers Co-operative publishing in Rochester, but it was eventually bought out by Thomson-West (“West Publishing”). —At the end of a 30+ year career, she was a computer programmer.
• I had a stroke October 26, 1993.
