Default Re: Soc Security benefits for 17yr old?

Believe me, my mom wasn't hiding assets. We were helping her pay her bills. She was one of those folks who basically fell through the cracks.

On her social security, she is one of the unlucky ones who are in the "notch" years which means she makes less than other people because of the year she was born in. I never really understood the reasoning behind that, but both she and my dad were in the notch years and made less than folks who were born a few years later or earlier.
