I am still new to receiving Social Security. I was balance my bank accounts and observed a one payment for $55.40 (pending). Well okay. So I log into My Social Security and do not see it. What I do see is a one time payment as of March 27th for my normal monthly payment less the 12 % I ask to be withheld for Federal Taxes. What the heck. I don't see it showing up yet in my account.
Does anybody else have stuff like this happen? I can see a minor adjustment because I got one relating back to the COI issued for 2024. But an extra monthly payment (if is ever shows up in my bank account or listed as a payment in My Social Security). I just don't understand this extra stuff that magically appears in my bank account.
I would appreciate any advice shared by those of you who have been dealing the Social Security longer than I have.

Hope you have a similar experience!

(65,612 posts)I got a letter saying I owed >$14,000 repayment. My vacation payout (6 weeks) & my final bonus all hit after the first of the year. Because I took SS early, I was limited in what I could earn, to $18,000. But, those added up to around $40k, and my sub pay was around $7k for the year. So, they counted $47k, or $29k too much.
They wanted their 14 grand back.
I got a letter from the company confirming that $40k of that was earned the prior year.
I called them, while on the phone forwarded him the email, and 30 seconds later it was case closed. I only made $7k against my limit, so I owed nothing.
Went way easier & faster than I thought it would.

Contact your local Social Security office about this.
