In October 2023, I received my normal monthly retirement deposit. But a few days later, I received another direct deposit of just over $400 from Social Security. Both my wife and I figured it was one of those mistakes that Social Security has been making, and soon, they would ask for it back.
Then, last week, I received a letter from Social Security. Before I opened it, I was sure it was a request to return the money. Imagine my surprise when I read that it was rightfully mine, along with an explanation. But there was an even bigger surprise included!
