As I read it, I have until next December. I turn 66 in April which is my first year of full eligibility, so the timing is good. I guess I would just go to my SS office to figure out what the full check would be. Since I didn't receive a COLA for the last two years, my assumption is that the base for SS didn't increase either for two years. Does anyone know? If the base did NOT increase for two years, that could mean that the full check I would get after repaying is not enough bigger percentagewise to justify coughing up all the repayment amount. The thing to find out first is whether or not the base grew. Does anyone know? Someone who is getting an annual statement of benefits from SS. Apparently, after this December the law will change and folks will only have a 12 month window for a do-over.
