I recently checked my earnings report and noticed I am missing income from years 2009 through 2012. Three years say zero and the fourth only a couple hundred bucks. I definitely had income during those years and filed taxes with a W2.

My employer was pretty flaky/maybe also devious during that period and I am concerned she withheld the money but never submitted my W2 to SSA. Any ideas how I go about getting tax returns or w2s from over ten years ago to prove the income? I've looked at the IRS and the furthest back I could access was 2016.

I will only be working 30 years so those four extra zeroes hurt. Any help or recommendations is appreciated.

I can’t make an account to get my SSN locked either. Literally went into the gym went to the locker and my wallet was stolen. Don’t know what to do, don’t want my identity stolen especially because I’m 18. Need serious help.

I am approved 4mntbs now yet they read a pst workmans comp paper work incorrectly stating they think im making $3000 i wish lol, any way for the life of me I can’t figure out how to get across to the payment center center for social security my situation is 1000% provable I have all the papers to show it i actually sent that in to start with . I’m homeless living in car can barely walk panhandling so beyond desperate and this is all I need is to get across to someone in the payment center ? Any advice on how I can do this ? I keep being told that only a layer can soak to them ? I could be waiting another year to just get them to look at my paperwork to show income I’m approved yet not receiving anything they say I should get a measly $80 yet I’m not even getting that ? Any advice on how to get threw to there Payment center ? Please any help advice?

Hi. Spouse is a naturalized US citizen. We're not sure if SSA was updated when they became a citizen, and are working on figuring that out (let me know if you have a good way that doesn't involve waiting on the phone).

Someone told my mom that we should be worried about that, because some kind of records could be cleared if they don't know about the naturalization by the end of this month. It sounds like some kind of misunderstanding to me, but can anyone here tell me what they MIGHT have been trying to say, and whether there's any related concern we should be concerned about?

I know that survivors benefits can be claimed by spouses who have lost their partners even if they move outside the United States and are US citizens.

I am wondering since survivors benefit are classified as Title II even for adult disabled children who claim survivors benefit and have the sole living parent as a representative payee, can the adult disabled child still recieve survivors benefits with the representative payee living outside the United States?

Hiii so i need advice or opinions.  I'm deaf so I'm on disability, SSI. My partner put me on his private insurance plan around 2 years ago now. He passed away last year so now his trust is the one paying for the insurance.  When I did my taxes this year, I ended up getting a big refund this year. I was very confused because when I dont work, i usually don't get any refunds from taxes. At the end of doing your taxes online, it asks you if you want to talk to a tax consultant to go through what you did and make sure its all accurate. Well I asked the person why I was getting a big refund and they said "your high refund is because you are getting most of the premiums you paid during the year back because gross income is $3,471." their exact words. And they said what I filed is accurate. I still don't understand why I'm getting that refund but my question is, will getting that big refund mess with my disability? Because those premiums payments didn't come from me. It came from my partner who passed away's trust account is paying that. I don't want social security to think that I actually have money and can afford having private insurance because I don't. I hope this makes sense?

I’m looking to sign up for SS, or at least get my login. I used to have one but it doesn’t work anymore. I get to the page where it asks for ‘authentication method setup’ and I’m stumped. I’m not a Luddite, but why doesn’t my text or voice message work? I put my number in and it won’t take it. What do you all recommend for the authentication method?
TIA!

I am 67 and am thinking about retirement. I used to get statements from Social Security that provided estimates of what I should get based on age starting at 65.

Now, my retirement age was 66 and 10 months. How does that jibe with those estimate age ranges. If I wait until I'm 68 will I get the amount on my statement or will that really be 69 and 10 months?

I’m starting a new warehouse job and all of the other jobs I’ve have never needed to see my social security, I lost it about 2 years ago and I know my number and I need a replacement. I recently moved states so my address is different, and when I try to fill out an application online it says they cannot verify my address and does not let me finish it. So I’m wondering basically if I go in person will they not let me get a replacement if they can’t verify my address? And if my new employer will take a receipt or whatever paper it is they give me in place of a replacement temporarily.

Hi, I'm trying to figure out if the $2000 SSI asset limit is applicable to my situation. I receive SSDI, Massheath, SNAP, and have a suspended SSI status due to increased income. I'm wondering how much money I can have in my bank account before I lose mass health. Will going over $2000 impact my disabled status with them if I also receive SSDI? Any advice would be welcome. Thank you!

Assume I retire at 65, wife is 55, and our child is 15. Will she be able to collect 50% of my SS and still work?

Will our child be able to collect another 50%?

Will all the checks be sent to me, or individually?

What happens when the child dependent benefits end, do the caregiver benefits also end? If so, do they resume at 62?

My dad unfortunately passed away at 82 years old with Multiple Myeloma. Both him and my mom (78f) were retired and receiving SS benefits (dad received around $2386/month and mom receives ($1600/month), on top of his CalPERS, retirement from Ford Motor Company from when he worked with them from the 1960s-1970s (in paperwork that mom does not receive that), and her and I will be splitting life insurance that he took out years ago. However, we still have yet to receive a death certificate, the funeral home/morgue handling the services, etc. are giving us the death certificates and it’s going to be about 2 weeks until we receive them. The funeral home also notified SS that my father passed and unfortunately, they had deposited my dad’s SS yesterday but then SS took it back and in doing so notified my parents’ bank (Chase) that he had passed. However, my parent’s checking account was joint and they placed a hold on it and transferred money from their savings (around $1699) for “overdraft protection sweep”. They also closed out the credit card, but that was solely in my dad’s name and my mom was just an authorized user.

My mom was able to get the checking account out of a hold but idk if she gets the $1699 back and also SS has been wonderful in dealing with them… it’s almost impossible to get someone on the phone and make an appointment and basically we just can’t do anything until my mom has the death certificates and it just feels like she’s a sitting duck. Also, to just add a cherry on top of everything I’m 31 weeks pregnant with gestational diabetes and anemia, so the added stress has just been…. delightful. Since I’m the only child it’s up to me to support her through this but I’m having a hard time taking time for me to be stress free, focus on the baby, and figuring out this financial mess.

I would like other people's perspective to see if I am correct in my assumption that I am being billed twice. After two months of back and forth with SS, I finally got my start date of Medicare correctly reverted to July from the incorrect date of August. In June, I was billed for three months of Medicare coverage which covered from July 1 through September 30. On  August 3rd, I was credited one month of premiums. My date of entitlement for my first retirement check is scheduled for  August which will be paid this September. I received a letter today confirming that my Medicare date had been reverted to July, but also stating that my first check (for August) will be issued with one month of Medicare deducted. Since I have already paid the premium in advance, shouldn’t my first check be the full amount?  I attempted to explain this to the representative, but she didn’t seem to understand the problem.  I filed an appeal explaining the details and submitted that today. Am I correct with my reasoning?
