As we near the end of 2024, The Social Security Administration says it's the perfect time to review your earnings history to ensure its accuracy, protecting the benefits you're entitled to based on the taxes you've paid. Jack Myers, Public Affairs Specialist with the SSA says the current earnings report at www.ssa.gov, will show earnings from closer to 2023, as it takes time for recent months earnings to be accounted for.

35 years is the target for social security earnings as Myers says less than 35 years will result in zeros in the earnings history calculation.

Myers says most fixes can be accomplished by simply having a W-2 form. For further issues the SSA is here to help citizens looking to get a grasp on the earnings history.

Find earnings history and learn more at www.ssa.gov/myaccount.
