Notice to Beneficiary of Non-Increase of Frozen Minimum PIA
The social security benefits to which you are entitled are based on a minimum monthly
benefit. This provides for a higher benefit amount than the amount figured under the
regular methods.
Since you are not yet 65 and will not be 65 this year, a cost-of-living increase cannot
be applied to your benefits until a change in your work status permits payment of
your monthly social security benefits.
*If you believe that this determination is not correct, you may request that your
case be reexamined. If you want this reconsideration, you must request it not later
than 60 days from the date you receive this notice. You may make any such request
through social office. If additional evidence is available, you should submit it with
your request.
*If you have any questions about your claim, you may get in touch with any social
security office. Most questions can be handled by telephone or mail. If you visit
an office however, please take this letter with you.
