Why is this news?
….and…….?
The current age of retirement is 67, but people can take early retirement at 62 or delay retirement until 70.
Age 70 retirement only changes the calculation of the amount of the pmt.
Is this somehow different than the regular monthly disbursement? (gotta admit I did NOT click on the link)
LOL
“ Why is this news?”
******************
It’s not. It’s CLICKBAIT.
What’s it come to after taxes?
Yeah. That seems to make sense.
What’s the point? Don’t people already know when they receive their SS payments and how much it will be?
Just like every other month….
Just a reminder I get to go to work in the morning as I have every year for the past 30 years, faithfully paying into the scheme so that others would get theirs that the feds spent years ago. I remember very clearly and very fondly my grandfather telling me he was glad I worked every day so his checks would keep coming and to keep it up. Now, the only proposals out there include an increase in retirement age, which means that instead of 20 more years in the game, I have 25 more, and a proposal to entirely screw Gen X, my generation, out of the money we’ve paid in for the last 30 years. What a scam!

Notheis. Thought I recognized that name. Walter Notheis.
“Walter Scott” from Bob Kuban and The In-Men.
(completely unrelated - sorry, that name just stuck out)

Don't ask me, I'm confused as well
Not enough!!!!!!!!!
In other news, this April will mark the first month this year that has a total of 30 days.
Yeah. Guess it got them some clicks. I did eventually click just to see if there was anything else. Took a quick look but didn’t see additional info. Oh well.
Yes, but the real scam and scandal is they automatically take your money from you for this “retirement”. The gov figures you can’t take care of yourself properly and won’t be responsible, so they will withhold that income for you.
Then, you still get taxed on it when you “retire” as income, even though they took that money from you 30-odd years ago when value was different! And you don’t get back the value, only the absolute amount!
And, you can’t take it with you….gov wins if you die before retirement, or you die too soon….no inheritance except to the gov!
There are millions of people who paid into the system, and who will NEVER get a single SS check.
Millions of those who paid, will have died before they even get a single check. Perhaps a love one (wife, kids) may get the benefit that one paid for, but, many other millions will have paid with not a single check coming to them or any family member.The government depends on people dying early so that the money will be there for all others, even to those who never contributed a single penny into the system, like illegal aliens.
I just started receiving SS this year. I turned 62 last year. my understanding is this is for people who have been on SS longer than a year.
Yep
