In 2013, AMAC—The Association of Mature American Citizens—took a big step with the creation of the AMAC Foundation, Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit entity designed to serve Americans. The Foundation’s mission is to help protect and ensure the financial security, health, and social lives of current and future mature Americans, and to help Americans navigate the bewildering array of decisions they need to make.
The Foundation’s projects and plans include providing factual information that improves understanding of the positive value of Social Security and Medicare and the current and long-term challenges these programs face, as well as providing interpretations by Certified Social Security Advisors through AMAC publications, workshops, webinars, podcasts, and telephone support.
In addition, the Foundation serves all Americans in a variety of capacities, including provision of a source of education on the principles of American Free Enterprise, long-term retirement financial planning, and preparing for life—and potential employment—after retirement.

I was told 18months,after I received Disability (SSI), SSA,contacts me by phone,and tells me,since I didn’t take my SSBenifits,when I turned 62,that I would be penalized, Saying I made too much Disability $money,?
SSA,knew when &How much I made when I received Disability, but didn’t tell me I had too take my SSB,when I turned 62.(I was receiving $733.00,a month,and Just started receiving my SSBenifits, in May,($220.00),
Now they are taking my Disability down to $533.00 a month, plus I will only be receiving $20.00 from my SSBenifits, Because they say I owe for Medicare, Which I haven’t gotten, yet,and I am wondering, Even though SSA,knew when I was receiving my Disability $,and How much back then,WHY DIDN’T They Say Something Back Then.Now I’m Paying the Price$$$$$$???????
We as People, that can’t afford, Computers, and sometimes No phones, Need Someone that knows what is going on in this matter,needs,to prepare We the Less Fortunate.
PJ,
Something really doesn’t sound right, because SSA doesn’t call to tell people to take their benefits. Were you on SSDI (Social Security Disability), or SSI (Supplemental Security Income)? Taking your Social Security benefit would increase your adjusted gross income and thus could reduce your SSI benefit. But if you were on SSDI you should have been able to stay on that until your full retirement age (I assume about 66) before applying for Social Security benefits. We would like to discuss this further with you. The email address in your post doesn’t work, so can you please call us at 1.888.750.2622 to speak to one of our Certified Social Security Advisors so we can better understand your situation and discuss your options.
Thank you,
Russell Gloor
