She is 76 she is very sharp! She got a email last week from social security saying that she was going to get 1700 a month instead of he measly 300 a month, and a back pay 20000 for the past year! She checked in her account this afternoon, and it was all true! I couldn’t believe it and she couldn’t believe it!

Excited for your Mom! What a YUGE blessing! 🙏☝️🙌
I haven’t a clue as to the truth behind all of this! But I do know God is present , and he is moving, and things are changing real fast
Yes!
More than likely she fell under the GPO or WEP provision of SSA and since that was removed she is now getting her benefits recalculated.
SS fairness act
Did she ever work as a teacher or state worker? I worked for the state, and I recently got over $7k and my monthly amount will just about double.
Previously the feds penalized workers who had worked jobs that didn't pay into Social Security, even when they had earned enough points. Recent legislation corrects that.
Great news for your mom!
They called that a “windfall” if you got a (relatively small) retirement from a job that had its own retirement plan.
Most teachers, state workers, etc. wouldn’t call their measly retirement plan a “windfall” because you also earned SS points at a different job you once held and paid into SS. They basically stole the money. Probably for USAID bs.
Mine jumped $30.00, from ~$830.00 to ~$860.00 and a back pay of ~$350.00.
My (rather low) monthly pay tripled, and I got over $7,000 back pay.
But what was the reason for the increase?
Because he is giving it all back to We The People.
Because of you had a gvt pension and also vested in SS....they kept 2/3....the SS fairness act stopped that
Yeah I thought I had read there were going to be huge increases.

Nice win.
Eliminating fraud,should help the people who earned it.
Hate to say..but biden signed the SS fairness act on the way out
That's awesome!
SS uses email to notify people about increases? Seems like something you’d be notified of via letter.
If true, that’s wonderful and I hope she can rest a little easier!
You can opt for enotification in your SSA account.
They are giving out some big checks.
They docked people who paid into public pensions and had social security payments possibly from prior jobs. Decided that docking people because they paid into both was inequitable. Don’t know if this is what your mom is excited about.
I'll believe it when it hits my bank account.
