    I got mine

    ...and I ended up with a 9.4% increase in my new SS payments. That amount is due to a lowering of my IRMAA deductions to reflect my lower income since I retired.

    USPS says they are delivering two letters from SS today. I guess I might find out this afternoon.

    WOW I had no idea

    I have to give that some thought before I sign up---the mail box is one of my only sources of surprises

    It tells me if I need to go 1,000' to the mailbox, or if I can just let the junk mail sit over night. I also installed a wireless alarm system sensor inside the box that lets me know when the door is opened and closed so I know when the mail has been delivered.

    I got my benefit increase notification from SSA.gov via email. I logged in and it gave it to me. My increase starts in December.

    My driveway is 1000' long with a hill in the middle. I can't even see the mailbox which is on the FM highway and right beside the driveway. The alarm system install is one of the best things I've ever done.

    I have the Informed Delivery mail status and get a daily update of what's coming. Like many others who are waiting, we'll see how it goes.

    I got my letter and it informed me of a nice increase in monthly payments. I haven't looked too deeply into all the numbers, but the take home difference is nice.
