i tried to set up an account but it's too confusing to log in
Comment from : @irichardwilling

Now, 1/2 way through February, and the SSA site doesn't have my updated salary information for 2024 Is there a specific time that it takes for that to appear? I do have last year's SSA statement, but I'd like to compare as I get closer to finally walking away from work since it should be getting closer and closer to the accurate numbers Thanks for all you offer! You help make the muddy water clearer!

What is the actual source of all monies that allows for any currency exchange in the USA ? Is that policy positive law or non-positive law?
Comment from : @tomcriscenzo7333

I’m sorry Dr but do you know the reason for why Government had to create a Social Security Trust ? And how it is actually funded? Can you also cite the full lawful authority that created social security trusts in the name of the beneficiary along with a numbered account identifying the named beneficiary? These are simple legal questions…

Comment from : @marybaggett2133

Retired at 65 and signed up for spousal benefit based on my late husbands soc sec disability payment The Soc sec web site says they cannot provide me any estimates on my soc sec benefit at age 70?😮 since I am receiving a benefit now My earning were greater so I am letting it grow at 8 How do I find out what I will get?
Comment from : @BeckyD-nt6gi

Ed, I begaan receiving SSA retirement last March when I reached FRA but have 24 zeros for income from 1997 to 2020 Fortunately I had 26 years of income of the 35 yearsThis year my IRS tax return shows I made $70k QUESTION: Will SSA automatically ADD my 2024 IRS AGI of $70k into one of my zero income years? I know they won't index it but will it increase my monthly benefit payment? If so how long before SSA adds this and increases my SSA benefit payment? Thanks
Comment from : @burtonlandman3456

Once a person reaches full retirement age and begins collecting SS Does continuing to work at increasingly more $ per year, increase the monthly SS benefit? Or is it locked in once monthly full retirement age benefits are started? I watched the video twice and didn't see this addressed Thank you!
Comment from : @johndillon5488

The estimate projects the 8 per year, but not the COLA, correct?
Comment from : @jerihillken

Thank you Stacey Ganassin Ybarra 😊
Comment from : @katkat-fm3wj

How do I check earnings records? Is there a line in income tax return I can find that number?
Comment from : @evakukielka8215

I believe what you said about if you quit working early that your Social Security payment will change I think you should say that once you have 35 years in working years into Social Security, it doesn’t matter anymore It’ll go off your five highest years, so long as you got five high years that you’re comfortable with correct me if I’m wrong or please help me with this understanding
Comment from : @billcorey4328

Thank you for your social security content and perspective on related retirement matters
Comment from : @charlesbyrneShowComments4all

How come the news are not telling about social security increase?
Comment from : @LindaDubbe

I’m not criticizing you on some of what I read from others my question to you is why wasn’t you providing this when you were working with social instead after you retired and I know most of you don’t like what I text but this is Adair question and if you and others don’t like what I ask don’t read we’re all entitled to our options you might not like mine and I think you believe everything you read
Comment from : @jimmyfowler2320

Mr Weir Ive been told if you file early at 62 and continue to work and made over the limits the money SS withold will be returned to you once you reach your full retirement age Please clarify if I'm wrong

I need my retirement this year can u help me?
Comment from : @OliverSulit-d7u

Your video's are very informative, I shared with my family and friends I was very appalled the other day at ss office, watching the Manager snatched all the numbers from customer's, told them they had to leave and call the number to make an appointment to be seenyour absolutely right they're lazy, unprofessional and don't want to work Thank you again, everything you said is 100 true!
Comment from : @michellethomas4071

What they don't tell you is, they will penalized you for not retiring at 62 or 65, whatever they state, at receiving your check, they take out their penalty $ amount for years from their stated year you should have retired!
Comment from : @gafairbanks2434

What about
Comment from : @davidnolan4343

I filed at age 65 even though I continued to work into well into my 70's I'm now 85 and concerned about continuing benefits My monthly amount is only 1912 per month minus 185 for Medicare leaving 1727 Is there any way to increase that benefit
Comment from : @fyxley1939

I wish you would have been able to help me when my husband passed I was 60 he was 62 I panicked and thought how would I ever be able to afford healthcare, mortgages, etc so I took spousal benefits I should have looked for another option so I would have received more in my SS check

Isnt this all based off a normal society, what's it going to be like under Trump? It won't be normal at all
Comment from : @gregcurl7367

I retired at 60 If I claim SS at 62, how much less would I get vs what my SS chart is telling me now at 62($2,100), because of not contributing to SS for 2 years?

Trump and Musk are about to end all social security payments

How can I contact you about DAC and Child In Care?
Comment from : @rochellehardie

i have never seen a document that looks like that on my SS account???
Comment from : @flygirljc

How about you only paid Medicare and not social security years pass I did paid into a pension but I cashed it out
Comment from : @MartyGeheb

Why no mention of SS looking back at your last two years of income and if they are zeros they assume that you are earning zero currently and going forward? So the $ amounts shown on your SS statement should be correct? Right?
Comment from : @jeffreyg201

Do you have president trumps phone number, he needs to know that workers need to work longer hours because of the increases in rent and food, the 23,400 is not fair do you all understand that you want to take our check from us if we go over that amount, look rent is 1,500 most seniors didn't throw mail around and make 100k a year so we don't get a big check ok

Looks Like We Will Be Working Forever Let Team T know your suggestions
Comment from : @Fran-k7r-j5l

I was forced into retirement during the crash of 2008 at age 58 I worked in the Newspaper industry for 42 years No one was hiring at that time In spite of drawing unemployment while looking for work, I struggled When that ended, and still no employment, savings exhausted and no job, I filed for my SS early when I turned 62 I am currently 75 and would have loved to wait to file, but it didn't work out that way Take it from me, please wait to file if you can Because I am struggling and so will you if you don't wait to file for your SS Work as long as you can

Comment from : @waynefoxjr8348

If on disability, will it automatically switch to regular social security (I worked for 30 years)? If so, what age?
Comment from : @AngeliaMcbride

Was no longer able to work at age 49 after working 30 years At 49/1/2 I was told my disability was approved but could not start until age 50 I had to stop working 4 months before I was approved so I was unable to work for 10 months without income (not by choice) Does it depend on the reason for disability as to what age you can begin disability?
Comment from : @AngeliaMcbride

None of this will matter thanks to all the idiots who keep voting Rethuglican Don't think I'll ever collect a penny, regardless how much I kicked in Elon wants this gone and, apparently, he's our real President and gets whatever he wants
Comment from : @janeathome6643

They also abusively refuse you Medicare for not having enough work credits being lifelong physically disabled from birth More abuse of disabled by social insecurity

What’s the use of deducting $184 Medicare part B premiums when I hardly go to the doctor I don’t take any prescription medicines and in good health🤔
Comment from : @Onthepath7th

My statement says “…assume you continue to earn $0 per year…” since I’m not employed Therefore, my estimates are pretty accurate, and if anything, could only go up
Comment from : @generic_official

Hey Dr Ed, in 2012 I applied for ssdi and because of health and mental health issues my work history I didn’t qualify for it I was put on ssi In 2017 my wife passed away and I was put on survivor benefits I am 62 and I’m wondering what I now qualify for I filed for retirement but didn’t get it Is this because I am already getting survivor benefits?

Comment from : @elgamodesto6660

I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and i applied for SSI, i didn't qualify for SSDI, due to not fitting into that 5 year window Never mind i worked over 30 some years A 30 year old could have received SSDI before me, even though they may have worked 10 years Never mind that's the rules, i still don't think that was fair
Comment from : @katkat-fm3wj

Thank you for the information on survivor benefits My husband passed away 7 years ago At the age of 66 almost 67 He started collecting at the age of 65 I wished when I went to social security they would have explained the survivor benefits better I was almost 65 and I could have been ok until I reached full retirement age ( 66 ) But, no one said anything about waiting Since his benefits were higher than mine, survivor benefits switched It was 6 years before I finally received the best explanation of why the benefits were lower than I expected Shame on the reps that helped me
Comment from : @gbosearcher-3686

Thank you ❤
Comment from : @dianebondhus9355

Remember, social security sends you a letter telling you about any change in your benefits so if it's telling you on facebook, it's probably a hoax and how did the people get the information first,don't get fooled
