Sarah’s permitting me to reveal this personal information in the hopes that someone at Social Security will read this column and, at long last, fix her problem. Sarah, who turned 70 in September, has not received a penny from Social Security in almost a year. On November 19, two days after she had filed for her retirement benefit, she went to her local Social Security office in Parsippany, NJ. She withdrew her application and told Social Security to resume her spousal benefit while continuing to delay her retirement benefit. She has not received any Social Security benefits, either her spousal benefit or her retirement benefit, since November 2019.
