Social Security Says I Can't Do What Your Program Says

Hi Larry,

I am going to take Social Security in one month with your plan. They are telling me I can't do what you suggest file-suspend-restart. They also say I am foolish to take money now because that will freeze my benefit amount. You have my permission to look at your suggested plan in my account.

Who am I to believe?

Please Help!

best, Frank

Dear Frank,

Please enter a support ticket by logging into the website. You are to believe our program. Many Social Security staff all around the country and on the phone have been telling people many things that are simply untrue as they don't know the rules due to inadequate training.

We will sort them out as needed.

best, Larry
