I second the notion it has something to do with Medicare part B payments. Since you are starting SS at age 70 next month, but you are already on Medicare, you have been paying Medicare Part B premiums yourself. But when you start getting SS payments, the Part B premiums will be deducted directly from them. So, I am thinking SS is somehow thinking you will have overpaid Part B premiums and refunded such overpayment.
Found this in another thread about Medicare Part B Premium Start Time, a response posted just two days ago: "I remember someone telling us about Telly’s scenario. During the switchover, the first payment was duplicate both taken from Easypay due to paying ahead, and again from the first SS check. Then the EasyPay payment was refunded at some point not long after."
