Will Social Security Properly Include My 2020 Earnings?

I turn 70 in January and am still working. I am sure that the year that closes on Dec. 31, 2020 will be among my higher earnings years. Will Social Security have my income info from 2020 available to them in time to use that most recent year in the calculation of my benefit. (I do realize, I think, that I will not be eligible for my first Soc. Sec. check until March, 2021.) Will the system properly include my earnings from the most recent year, having just closed?
Thank you.

Should I Contact Social Security To Let Them Know That I'm Not Working?

Larry: I am 65 and worked for a few years after I started collecting SS benefits at 62.Of course my benefits were adjusted because I made more over the allowed limit. Not much but a $1700.-$2000 over. I now have quit working for good at 65 and feel that my benefit should be adjusted up. I told my husband that I should contact the SS Department but he said not necessary that the SS Admin., has the information thru the payroll taxes not being with-held for me. What is the recommendation? Contact SS Admin., let them know that I am not working? Thank you.

Is It True That Social Security Will End If Payroll Taxes Are Suspended?

People are reacting on fb after Trump said he wanted to delay payment of payroll taxes from September through December 2020. If elected, he said he would not require they pay those taxes and social security would be funded by The General Fund. Democrat friends are scared that as will be refunded and done away with. Please give me some info to fight this scare tactic with on their posts. Sarah
