Social Security Checks

[EJLarson]

Wife and I received ours here in Texas a week or so ago.

I was thinking the same thing. I have not received mine yet. Also is there a raise this year. Since we didn't get one last year.

DB, did you receive your form yet? I haven't as yet.

 

[EJLarson]

Perhaps it's the correo here just being slow again. Re a 2017 COLA, it's a paltry 0.03 percent.

Actually, it's 0.3%. Still a small enough number to be lost in rounding to the next $10.00.

Thanks, Ed. I've reached the age when sometimes numbers begin to blur.

If it were only numbers!

The increase of 0.3% (less than 1/3 of 1%) is negated by a rise in Medicare Part B timed to coincide with the increase.

You can be on the lookout for the FORM SSA-1099 - SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT STATEMENT. Mine arrived today.

 

[D.B. Cooper]

DB, did you receive your form yet? I haven't as yet.

No I haven't yet. Still waiting.

 

[JoeGillis]

No I haven't yet. Still waiting.

Received the benefits statement on 3 Jan and the 1099 statement this past Tuesday.

Received the 1099 form . The other Form mentioned is the Survival Form? that is sent once a year?
