Social Security Retirement

[fredwiggy]

With all the talk about what's going on in the Social Security world, has anyone had any problems yet? Also, has anyone received theirs today who had the 3rd as their pay date? I called my bank and they said no transfer today, although it's supposed to come in on Friday if your date occurs on a weekend. He said it still could come today, although it's never been this late 13:00, and if not, it would come on Tuesday , as Monday is a Thai holiday.

It's not trump, we all had to switch our accounts to a new Login.gov for security reasons.

What's strange is that I receive 2 Social Security payments, one for myself and one for my child, and only one came today. The first time in over 6 years.

I received my daughter's at 14;00. Mine still hasn't come so somethings wrong. Need to contact them because they're both on the same account. We needed to change to Login.gov and I was in the process, so wondered why one came and the other didn't. I figure it should have been neither or both.

I still need to contact SS to make sure I can transfer my existing account to the new one. Manila is hard to communicate with. You send an email and they take weeks to reply. Holiday Monday so I'm thinking it might come Tuesday but still strange only one came and the other didn't.

I get 2 myself. Both came in, one in US and one Bangkok Bank.

I called them today, in the US, after waiting almost 2 hours on hold. She asked me for all my information, which I gave her, and kept saying I need more. I gave her everything they needed, things I applied with when I moved here, and she was confused on the addresses. I still get mail at my ex wife's mom's house, where I applied, although I tried a few times to change to my actual address, where I've lived for 6 years, and couldn't. The system didn't allow for a change, which is strange. 

 

She asked me to read off my mail I get from SS, the address, which is mom's house, and I did, but still came back and repeatedly asked me for the same information, until finally she hung up. 

 

I go through Manila, and have tried to contact them many times over the last 9 months and all I get are emails saying the same things. I recently applied to switch to Login.gov, as it's mandatory, and I'm waiting for that to process. Tuesday I will call Manila, as Tuesday and Thursday are the only days you can call. Tuesday morning I will see if my benefits come in the bank, as Monday is another holiday here. It's just very strange that my daughter's came through, although late in the day, and mine didn't, this after receiving both the same day, within minutes of each other, in almost 7 years. I was thinking since my Login.gov was still in the processing stage, it might hold back my benefits, but to get one and not the other? I would think I would either receive both, or neither if that was the case.

Go to your Mysocialsecurity, if you have one. It tells you to change to Login.gov. Everyone;s supposed to do it.

With all the changes they're making, you have to be aware of them. I wasn't until recently, and I'm wondering if it's why I still haven't received my benefits, even though I did for my daughter. Weird.

Guess I need to pop into the bank, make a withdrawal, as next month will put me over the $10k USD mark.     So now it's every 4 months instead of 3 months.

 

Damn you Harris, why couldn't you pull a win ... bi-atch 🥵

I don't think there are transfers on weekends. I get mine on the 3rd of every month, and did my daughter's yesterday as they release them on Fridays if your date occurs on a weekend.  As far as I know, no transfers on any days besides working days.

It's computer driven, so doesn't matter, as March would be the weekend in USA.  Released on 2 Mar 10:16 to arr TH morning of the 3rd.  Same with Feb.

Thailand's transfer dates correspond with the US. If the date you receive your benefits is on a weekend, you should receive them the Friday before. I've received benefits on a Friday a few times, when it was the 3rd on the Saturday or Sunday. I've never received benefits on a weekend. The same with a Monday holiday. If it's your date, you'll receive your benefits on the Tuesday after. The SS is going through changes, mainly the one where everyone has to switch to Login.gov. This could be why I didn't get my benefits yesterday, as I'm still in the processing stage for Login.gov. although Like I mentioned, it's strange I received my daughters.
