Social Security Sent the Wrong Information to Some Beneficiaries. Are You 1 of Them?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is by no means infallible, and many older Americans are apt to learn that the hard way after a recent blunder. The agency reported that it sent out some erroneous earnings statements in response to individual requests. And if you received one, you'll need to get the matter sorted out.
The SSA issues earnings statements on an annual basis that not only summarize worker income for the year, but also estimate benefits at retirement age. Only adults aged 60 and over get these statements in the mail. Anyone else who wants one needs to either create an account on the SSA's website and access them there, or otherwise specifically request a paper copy.
