Payout from SSA in the past week.

By Terry Savage on March 09, 2025 | Social Security

Terry,
I got a large payout deposited in my registered bank account from SSA.
It came to me off schedule from my normal monthly deposit.
Should i accept it or go to SS to explain?
Always enjoy your presents on WGN.
Thanks,

Yep, that’s the makeup payment for all of 2024 — since your monthly benefits were reduced either by the WEP or GPO — public service pensions.
Your monthly payment should also increase.

I recommend just leaving that windfall in savings. SS is so messed up, we want to make sure they don’t start clawing those payments back!
