“An elderly man was telling me that his wife had worked full time her entire life as a sales clerk and was drawing only around $300 in ss.”
I believe it. They figure the benefit based only on the last few years of work. My last few years I was very ill and also I took care of my elderly parents, a friend dying with a brain tumor and two sick twin grandbabies...I lost everything I’d paid in for the previous 45 years..went to work when I was 11.
Bless you. My goodness.
