Now I'm confused - did the Notice say that the payment would be set BACK a week, causing people to (theoretically) lose money OR did it say "In the notice the payment date is incorrectly shown as one week before what the actual date of payment will be" which would appear to result in an early payment.

Or am I reading this wrong?

(Stepdaughter says she had no knowledge of any of this.)

The notice basically said that someone messed up sending out 6 million notifications about the SS payments being delayed a week. It was totally inaccurate info in the original notification about holding back a week.

And these are our government employees hard at work. Folks making stupid mistakes and cost time and money printing up retractions. What do they care, they have a job and to be "fired" from a government job takes an act of G*d or something similar to happen.

So why don't you get a job at the government then?

Sorry, is it that you don't know what a PDF-type document is at all?

Here is the text of the .pdf (an Adobe document format).

The Social Security Administration earlier this month mailed notices that contained incorrect January 2010 payment dates. These erroneous notices went to about 6 million beneficiaries who receive their payments on either the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of each month, and are part of the annual benefit notices that go to 52 million Social Security beneficiaries. In the notice the payment date is incorrectly shown as one week before what the actual date of payment will be. The other information in the notice, including the payment amount, is correct. Social Security is sending a letter explaining the error to beneficiaries who received the incorrect one as soon as possible.

“We apologize for the inconvenience and confusion these incorrect notices will cause,” said Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security. “The problem was caused by an unfortunate human error. We are correcting the misinformation as quickly as possible, and we are reviewing our processes closely to prevent this type of mistake from happening in the future. People receiving Social Security benefits in January 2010 should know that their payment will arrive on the same payment day that it has arrived in the past.”

Yes, I do NK, and I followed the links, got the PDF which included four documents, one is a Social Security Notice. Is that what I was supposed to find?? It didn't tell me much. Thanks anyway.

Just because I have a stupid looking greyhound sitting on a rock in my avvie and my screen name is tickle, doesn't necessariily mean I am challenged in any way. But at times I would prefer people to think that way, it disarms them.

The PDF is only one page the contents of which speech copied in its entirety. I'm not sure what four documents you are referring to, sorry.

I received the same notice in the mail-in regards to my daughter's social secruity benefits. What I got out of it was that previously they had sent a letter stating when the payments would be processed in Jan. 2010-but the dates were incorrect. It was like a little post card thing.
