Well, it’s been a strange week. My inbox is normally crammed with emails from readers. But this week, there has been just a sprinkling of questions. I’d like to think it’s because all of you have been reading my column…
it’s because all of you have been reading my column for years, and maybe also have read my two books about Social Security, and so you’re all now Social Security experts who’ve got no questions left to ask. But it’s probably because spring has sprung and you’re all out doing odd jobs around the house or working in the yard.

The Social Security check that comes in May must be returned.
