Katharine, I too have in the past received conflicting letters regarding SS payment amounts. One is usually sent from return address of my local SS office and the other from a regional SS processing center. I went onto original Medicare prior to claiming SS benefits and this was also around the time I dealt with some capital gains issues which could increase the Medicare Part B premium. As I recall I received one letter indicating a decrease in the net deposit amount after withheld taxes and withheld increased Part B premium and another letter indicating a slight increase because it was also at the beginning of the year COLA adjustment. You can go online to your SS account and probably find the most accurate and current information.
Thank you very much, Michael G. I have actually been on the myssa.gov site this morning to confirm my annual amount from last year. And my monthly payment seems to be confirmed. The two letters did come from different regional centers, and I think the tiny amount of one letter might apply to how much I get from a divorced husband who pre-deceased me. I’m pretty sure it is all-inclusive because I have been receiving only one deposit all these years. I got a very slight increase at his death because of the 10-year marriage rule although he hadn’t started collecting yet. What a complex set of regulations, eh?
