The lady at the SS offic ehere in Paris told my brother he wouldn't get a check until 6 months after he turns 62. I know that is wrong because people I worked with got their first check the month after they retired and turned 62. Why would she tell him this falsehood?

Patty Duke has paid much more into the FICA system than she is likely to receive. She is not taking charity; she is getting a little bit of her own money back. Social Security is not 'old folks welfare'. It is not limited to those who (determined by you) 'need' it. Everyone who pays in and lives to the retirement age deserves to get their share.

so if she is still working and giving the benefits all back, why didn't she wait until full retirement age of 66 to sign up for them. She is reducing her benefits by almost 7% in the long run and getting nothing the first year. Not a wise decision.

She should cry. For taking money she doesn't need to live on.I am not wealthy by any means, but my wife and I have discussed our SS benefits. And we know that if we have managed to save 1.5 million. We would not apply for SS. We feel that's it's pure greed for some one to claim the benefit that can take care of themselves with the money they have. The rich don't want to pay SS taxes on all the money they earn it stops at around 105000. We know that one way to keep the system going is to just pay back in a lump sum all the $ they paid in. And let them spend down their wealth. After all whats $25/35K to somebody like Patty Duke.
