Why Am I Getting Less In My Social Security Check?

Why am I getting $306 less a month in my SS check. I am 72 years old

Hi,

I'm sorry, but I have no way of knowing why your payment amount changed. Social Security sends notices in the mail to inform people of the reason for any changes in their payment amounts, so if you didn't receive such a notice you'll probably want to contact Social Security to ask for an explanation.

Best, Jerry
