that you jumped off the couch?

The Social Security checks will continue to arrive as they always have.

Especially if they can't do it online for any reason.

news, and we wouldn't be dependent on reports from DUers to know it's happening.

I am treated for anxiety. This has become a trigger, no matter how I deal with it intellectually. I have made sure I'm aware of truth behind hype, but even so, the administration is breaking laws, trampling rights and stopping money already earmarked. In spite of what I read about my check getting deposited, I am on high alert. Just think of waiting for the other shoe to drop, all the time.

High alert 24/7 — am so glad you got your check!!! I appreciate reports from individuals such as yourself as I wait for mine! (due next week)

Hang tough/rock steady, Marthe!!

I'm allowed to be relieved, thank you very much, and so is anyone else who relies on SS for survival. That is entirely separate from my concern for everyone who is suffering from Schlump's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad, decision making (including turning Eloon and DOGE loose to lay waste to our government),

I assure you that concern DOES exist. My husband and I have both experienced our share of layoffs and bouts of unemployment (though nothing like the chaos government workers are now facing, which I honestly have trouble even imagining), and we know it can be frightening and stressful. But when one's own survival seems to be hanging by a thread, that is naturally where one's attention is going to be primarily fixed. I am not going to apologize to anyone for that.

but fear is a human thing. You may not acknowledge it, but you too are susceptible. I hope when you express your fear other humans are kind.

I'll try to keep your wise words in mind ty

That’s why it’s posted under “seniors” and being one I’m glad to see it.
Got mine also but as our government becomes more dysfunctional this has become important.

who might be glad to hear that the expected happened I appreciate seeing posts from people who get their SS earlier in the month.

I'm going to be ok. I do reality checks, and reassure myself that I have plans b and c, but even with a prescription, anxiety gets the better of me. I hope we'll all be okay, soon.

I started collecting SS in April 2021, when I retired, right before my 70th birthday.

I hope your enjoying retirement. I started collecting a few months after I turned 65, and I'll be 73 this year. I've retired from 2 things since and am currently a semi-retired as Uber Grandma and grand dog walker. I get paid in hugs and wet dog toys

When they receive their checks. It calms some of my fears about how SS is functioning, and gives me slight hope it might be functioning in the future as well.

And I think of all the heartbreaking posts I have read from seniors saying, if they take SS from me, I won’t survive, and I think, thank god the checks are still going out, thank god for that at least….

So I am happy for every SS post I read here.
