Dawn, are you sure that is the right answer. Aren’t we taxed on the income when it is received not when it is earned? These retroactive payments went out to over a million folks beginning in March. They are to reimburse us for the unfair law that reduced SS payments to people who worked both in the private and the public sector. We now receive the fair amount we should have always received. For me that has been 10 years of reduced SS income. However the congress approved only one year of retroactive payments. These lump sum payments will show up on our 2025 SSA-1099.
