Not sure if you can answer this but my mom has SSI from when she worked briefly plus 50 percent of my dad's SS benefits. However, our math suggests she should be earning more than what SS determined. Her contribution is correct, but we're not sure what numbers SS determined for 50 percent of my father's. Is there a way to see the breakdown online or do we have to go to the office to find out?

Wow, that calculation looks as clear as mud.

From my understanding, my father retired at 70 (born in 1953) and my mother retired at 66 years and 6 months (born in 1967). I understand the 50 percent comes from my father's PIA at age 66. According to them, they pulled out that number and calculated 50 percent and their number comes out roughly $300 more per month than what she received. Is there some other math I'm missing short of reviewing their numbers again?

How is your mother getting right paid now for retiring in the year 2033?

Fat fingered typo. She was born in 1957 and waited the requisite six months to collect full benefits.
