Here is a question for all of you SS experts
I was Using Any Pia V. 2010.1, to estimate my monthly benefit. Today I down loaded the latest version Any Pia 2011.2, from the SS website, and guess what? My monthly benefit at age 62 decreased by $24.
I know the COLA increase in the historical data is 0 for for 2009 and 2010 so I was not expecting an increase.
Could it be due to a decrease in the Average Wage? AW for 2009 is $41,334.97; for 2010 it is $40,711.61. (Recession impact?)
I know just enough about the PIA calculation to be dangerous, so thanks in advance for any help
