Earnings Statement Mailings Suspended
From the
Federal Times:
Tight money has again led the Social Security
Administration to halt the mailing of all paper statements of earnings
and benefits to millions of Americans. These are the handy documents
that give you an idea of what to expect in terms of Social Security
retirement or disability income.
The latest suspension, which took effect Oct. 1, results
from the “overall budget situation,” including a stop-gap continuing
resolution that will leave the agency at last year’s funding levels
through March, spokeswoman Kia Anderson said.
SSA officials had originally suspended mailing paper
statements in April 2011 to save $70 million annually. This February,
however, they had resumed mailings to people aged 60 or older and in
July, to participants in the year they turned 25.
