We are writing to tell you that we plan to change (1) Social Security benefit amount. Although (2) not receiving regular monthly benefits now, (3) will receive a reduced amount if (4) benefits start again.
Why We Are Changing The Benefit Amount
We recently matched computer records with the Railroad Retirement Board and learned
that (5) enough railroad earnings (120 railroad service months or 60 railroad service months
after 1995) to qualify for railroad benefits. As a result, we can no longer use railroad
earnings to figure (6) Social Security benefit amount. This reduces (7) Social Security benefit.
What You Can Do
Please let us know right away if any of this information is wrong. We cannot use this
information to figure Social Security benefits until we give you time to check it.
You will also need to give us any proof you have that shows that our information is
wrong.
If We Do Not Hear From You
If we do not hear from you within 30 days from the date of this letter, we will assume
the information in this letter is correct and use it to reduce (8) benefits.
We will send another letter at that time. It will explain the change in benefits,
the amount of any overpayment, and how to appeal our decision.
