Got all complete that was on my to-do
list. It wasn't much. But it was a headache. Anything that is hooked
up with the government is stressful.
I got hold of social
security, and I only waited 45 minutes and heard some wait hours. My
main question was about my earning this year. It won't be sent in
until 2024. So I can ask if social security can be re-calculated at
any time.
I got brave and asked them what my estimated social
security was if I took it right now, at 63 and 3 months old. It would
be $449 if I didn't work and nothing more went into my account. So I
would get $588 at the age of 67. It is what it is.
I also called
to see if I could get my Idaho health rate lower. It is Idaho's
version of the Affordable Care Act. Well, I did. The state is giving
me $1,070 toward my health insurance.
This Friday food truck
will be down at our fairgrounds. They'll be 260 boxes of food given
away.
Coffee is on, and stay safe.
...my dealing with Social Security have always be very good.
ReplyDelete$588, is that a weekly payment or a monthly payment? If it is monthly that doesn't seem like enough, it will be only $147 per week. Do you qualify for the boxes of food? Go and get one.
ReplyDeleteYour social security seems more or less commensurate with ours, somewhat less, but your cost of living is lower.
ReplyDeleteGood on the food boxes
ReplyDeleteOur social security is about the same.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a lot, is it! Valerie
ReplyDeleteCalling them up is always stressful. Glad you didn't have to wait hours.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those who has waited hours. That isn't much to live on, not that I don't know already SS puts you in the poor shack. I hope you can survive on that amount.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you didn't have to wait hours ... mind you 45 minutes is still a long time!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
You have some security system. That's a lot better than us here in India.
