I went back to work twice since starting Soc Sec. This resulted in an increase in my monthly benefit when the new earnings were added to my record. Understandably the increase didn't show up immediately the following year. Instead, I got only the COLA increase for Jan - Nov. Then in DEC I was paid the new amount plus 10 times the difference, to make up for the previous 10 months. Seems like it should have been 11 times, so that I got the increased amount for all 12 months. The same exact thing happened the next year.
Has anyone else here went back to work after starting SS? Did you have the same experience? Any clarification of what I am overlooking is appreciated.
