catch up SS
as a retired teacher, what should I expect?
Terry Says
You can find out exactly what to expect by going to www.MaximizeMySocialSecurity.com.
There you can calculate your full benefit, unreduced by the WEP. You should get the new monthly benefit soon. Plus a separate check representing the difference in payments going back to January, 2024.
Or you can just wait to see what arrives in your account soon. That assumes you are already receiving a reduced benefit. If you never applied for SS, but now would be eligible for benefits based on having worked and contributed for 40 quarters, you should apply immediately.
