This is a one man effort to help people understand what is going on with Social Security.

  • I track social security payments to a small set of friends who are all Social Security recipients.
  • I look over the SSA website availability stats daily.
  • I lookout for clickbait and scams pertaining to Social Security.
  • I hide any fake or non-pertinent news items.

My intention is to help people keep an eye on the Social Security system without wasting a lot of time doing so.
