If someone told you that you own your projected social security earnings then they where either misinformed, or they labored under a misunderstanding, or they lied to you. None of which is an argument that you shouldn't or won't get the payments, merely that they aren't something you own. Canceling them wouldn't be a taking that would legally require just compensation. You "own" them in the same way that a farmer "owns" his income stream from price supports (in other words you don't own them at all).
