Emergency Lost Funding - Social Security Clawback
Donation protected
I just learned that I will get no check for this month and only $44 the next.
When I first retired, I got an incentive to retire in the form of a buyout.
Apparently Social Security counted it as earned income and decided I made too much in 2018 for those first 2 checks. So they want about $1500 back. I've spoken to them and sent papers in, and they say they will make adjustments, but it's 30 days or so for that.
Well, I had gotten a letter and simply assumed that I would get my regular check this month, and only the $44 for next. I thought at least I could take this check and somehow work around next month's shortage. Surprise! And right now I have $4 in the bank because I assumed that I could cover other expenses.
In any event, I will appreciate whatever you can give. BTW, the amount will also cover a dental appointment on the 13th and have a margin in case things are delayed otherwise. While SS has been good so far, I don't want to have to deal with another shortage say in December.
Thanks to all of you who give.
