Westchester, NY.
At first I thought this was a very big, strangely colored cardinal.
Merlin says it's an American Robin. I see a couple around on the grass.
Never seen them before although I guess they are around.
Not sure if it will go for my feeders, one has safflower seeds, the other a finch mix.
My wife was on SSDI, it was recently changed to "regular" SS (we are both 67/FRA).
She just received a letter stating (the Capitalization is mine) :
"we are writing to tell you that you are due ADDITIONAL benefits on your spouse's record. You currently receive social security retirement benefits. The law requires that you file for ADDITIONAL spouse's benefits"
Is this just a poorly worded notice that she needs to apply for spousal benefits (which will be a bit more than what she is getting currently), and her current benefits will be dropped?
The word "additional benefits" is confusing.
