I was a member of group of experts in computers and security tasked to conduct an analysis of the SS operation. Our report indicated an average of one reel of tape containing SS data went missing and never found. This was back during the 1960 years. Ever since then I routinely filed a request for a status on my SS earnings and etc until I finally retired.
Does anyone here have zero W-2 income? I mean, is your income from other sources (interest, capital gains, rents) which if I understand correctly, you do NOT pay SS/FICA on?
