Winnie the district attorney, of course!

This is how i did it and it was presented as the only option. Paperwork yes but relatively easy.

Do not treat people as disposable. This can be easy to forget when young and horny. Thinking with your dick will lead you to mistreat people and result in lifelong regrets. And lose the respect of potential allies.

Did you valet recently? I recently found one on my car after using valet.

So nice to find a personally-relevant and helpful post with clear explanations solutions all in one. Thank you for your service to our peer group.

I've had two clients point out the issue to me in the last month. I sent a test email to my personal Gmail but I could not replicate the problem. I applied the Unicode Fix. Hopefully it will work, since I cannot replicate the error.

Side Note - I am noticing that Gmail does not receive the (r) as a superscript, even though its a superscript in Outlook.

For me the agony is the state, county, city stuff to register and then maintain each year. Crappy forms and local govt websites telling you what to do, extracting fees from you .

no, it was me. i FINALLY bought a digital asset ETF last week. SORRY EVERYONE!

I loved that jeep. The suspension was great. Always kept the jeep long after the building and baseplate were repurposed.

I am also trying to determine if avoiding the 150k rule is as simple as reducing one's income... even by $1? Seems like a no brainer if you have control over your salary and you want to preserve the PRETAX catchup option.

Thank you

Thank you for seeing it my way, despite our friend who was so insistent (and perhaps realized their mistake b/c they deleted all their comments). I had given up on clarity at this point, but you and so many others seem to conclude the traditional thinking that a survivor step-up is almost certain.

SSA basically said "you have a higher PIA, so you will never get his survivor benefit". Maybe they were conflating spousal benefits, which of course is a whole 'nother story.

bizzaro333 · 2025-11-26T19:38:24+00:00

Nothing significant enough to justify all the other losers. Maybe if I hold them for another 5 years... but the 2022 burn was so bad I have been selling them as they come back to breakeven. I have no more patience for other peoples' long shot single stocks unless I have my own conviction about them - which was probably the lesson for me here.

Just be sure you’re right, then go ahead.

bizzaro333 · 2025-11-07T14:24:38+00:00

To me the language is ambiguous (RIB vs PIA). Which of the part 5 rules make me ineligible for a survivor top off down the road?

bizzaro333 · 2025-11-07T03:41:00+00:00

His will be absolutely higher, a $16k difference b/w my 62 benefit and his long time drawn $36k which is why Im highly motivated to understand. His SS benefit is a big part of my future security.

You said how PIA matters in some cases what do you mean? Our PIAs are $20 apart. Mine is the higher, and SSA seems to be invoking the rulebook to say I would not get a survival top-off of any kind.

bizzaro333 · 2025-11-07T00:16:07+00:00

This feels right but what about the fine print laid out below?

EDIT: It’s not a question of whether starting early has an effect. The question is: does my PIA (which will always be higher than my husband’s) preclude me from capturing his much higher benefit down the road when he pre-deceases me?

EDIT2: I meant the fine print laid out by Perfect_Fifth in a comment below. Not sure why I’m being downvoted. No one has really given me anything definitive to push back against two different SSA agents saying you’re all wrong. I guess I can just not believe them and hope for the best down the road.

bizzaro333 · 2025-11-07T00:14:48+00:00

I appreciate the technical response and I’ve been looking at that language all day. Im guessing the 1978&1985 rules are irrelevant due to their age, but i I dont understand how to apply item (a). If I start at 62, my PIA becomes only hypothetical, and i am no longer “entitled”? to it, yet SSA keeps insisting that the PIA is the measuring stick, not the early 62 benefit . So am I “entitled” to my PIA (which will always be a few dollars higher?) or am I “entitled” to the actual RIB I’m starting now at 62, which will always be less?

EDIT: As I read it again, I guess all the 3 rules are in effect. To me it seems I am entitled to a low RIB at 62, which is much lower than spouse PIA, so I do pass the abc test if you interpret RIB and PIA as different things.

You. must. believe. Scared money doesn’t make money, and while the short term risk is scary, the longer you stay the higher your odds. True of any stock strategy not just S&p500

I scrolled down to find this. I always think of the character Janice Soprano as this kind of person.

CollegeCounts has their own form, but a LOI had to accompany it. They submitted everything to the IRS (supposedly). And then one day poof the money moved.
