Will my benefit increase if I take my DD214 to the SS office?


Is it true if you take your DD214 to the SS office you can get a higher amt? Also if you have been collecting and this is true, can you go back and change the amt you get? Thanks


Donald.
Social Security automatically credits you military service when it calculates your retirement benefit. So, there is no need to take you DD214 to the SS office.

Best,
Mike
