Social Security Benefits Bonus Deposit?

Posted on 10/13/2016 2:37:57 PM PDT by savedbygrace

Did anyone else receive a Social Security Benefits bonus deposit last night? There is no explanation, of course, but it is for more than a few dollars. I would love to know what brought this on, other than a bribe by the Obama administration.

Thanks for your answer. I think that explains it. I don;t think that will apply to retirees with a fixed-amount SS.

Now, if everyone here that gets the bonus would give contributions to this site and Trump, that would make each one feel great for it being because of Obama Administration.

I think I may have an insight into this.

I typically have my Medicare Insurance deducted directly from my SS before I ever see a direct deposit into my account. This month, the Medicare cost was deducted from my checking account separately. I expect that this cost will be included in my SS check. We’ll see.

Repayment demands are scheduled to go out Nov 9th.

“”As usual...I just got a bone. Nothing, nada.””

And not even a scrap on the bone... How ‘ya been? I guess those of us who are FULLY retired won’t see anything as it looks like an adjustment for those still working and earning wages. It’s been 10 years since my husband and I retired and made the big move 3000 miles away. It doesn’t seem that long...

I did get a letter from them saying they were going to make a one time deposit to my account because they thought they shortchanged me this year. I think the amount was something like $140. My wife also got a letter. Her shortchanging was under ten dollars and maybe even under a dollar. I really don't pay any attention to what they send to me. (Yesterday, as part of my regularly monthly tax deposit, I pissed away $496 toward "Social Security" and a smaller amount toward Medicare.)

Could be that at some time you indicated a desire to receive a lump sum payout of your SS account and stop the monthly payments.

So, what appears to be a bonus, in reality you zeroed out your account............

“Anyone know what this is for?”
***************************************
I think that the Social Security Administration recomputes the monthly benefit for folks who have had an additional year of earnings that wasn’t factored into the original computation & that can result in a somewhat higher monthly benefit ongoing. Plus a separate “retroactive” payment for the amount of monthly increase times several months (back to January?). The “bonus” may that retroactive payment.

Or maybe it’s a bribe. /sarc - just kidding
