Hey bros.
Celebrating my first "wind fall" Social Security check that just landed in my bank account.
Went down to the local Social Security office on Monday to ask what was taking so long with my application for benefits.
Turns out it had nothing to do with all this Muskie Doge nonsense.
 
Social Security agent.... You put down March 1st as your retirement date but you reached full retirement age 6 months ago.
Me...I know, I'm still working full time. I like my job. And they like me. Its why I'm still there after 30 years.
Social Security agent ... That's fine, but you can keep working and collect full benefit now with no penalty.
So would yo like to change your start benefits date to October 2024 and receive 6 months of retro benefit for first check?
Me....Well.....ok, twist my arm.

Added bonus...
My company just announced branch closure.  Laying off everyone over next 2 months. (They offered me a position at new location. "Do you want to move?"  me..."ummm... no thanx". lol)
I get 6 months full pay/benefits severance plus a 15% retainer bonus for staying on until they close this summer.. And paying me for all unused vacation time.
Glad I didn't retire in October. Perfect timing...lol
