Big changes are happening with Social Security, and you have questions.
My recent columns drew thousands of comments, largely centered on three big themes: fear of delayed checks and crumbling customer service at the Social Security Administration, Roth conversions on tax-deferred retirement accounts, and heart-wrenching explanations of why filing for benefits at 62 is not always a matter of choice.
The Trump administration has made considerable and controversial changes, including massive staff and field office cuts, limiting phone service. and significantly ramping up the amount it garnishes per monthly check from Social Security beneficiaries who receive overpayments. These changes are impacting the nearly 74 million retired senior citizens and disabled workers who currently receive benefits and the millions more on the cusp of doing so.
