Did you get the email from Social Security administration saying what a great thing the big beautiful Bill passing

[Eliot Rosewater]

Was?

I tried to post a picture of it here, but I don’t know how to do that. How disgusting that Nazis run the SSA now .


https://blog.ssa.gov/social-security-applauds-passage-of-legislation-providing-historic-tax-relief-for-seniors/


I know what I’m doing, I checked the email address before I posted it, this is from the SSA

Just do a Google, Search “SSA applauds, big beautiful, Bill”


You will only get the email if you are subscribed to all subscriptions for SSA as I am.


One last time, if you don’t trust the link, that’s fine. Just do a Google search for it. You will find it. You will see that this is really from them.

Why would anyone be surprised, the maga filth run the SSA

[Ocelot II]

1. No, are you sure it's real?

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. I'm sure

Social Security Administration

[e-mail]

[wanderer54]

48. I received it 😂

[EdmondDantes_]

5. Yep. I got it and there's a press release on the SSA website

It's Trump being the tiniest egotistical clown to ever live.

[Celerity]

46. Snapshots of the press release from the government website.

[peggysue2]

3. No

And I'm sure I would have remembered it, Eliot.

Bizarre.

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Got mine 10 minutes ago

It’s real

Don’t know why we can’t attach a screenshot here

[Celerity]

45. Use Gyazo to take a snapshot and then post the link. It's super simple.

[peggysue2]

47. I just received the email, Eliot

Celebrating the passage of the bill and declaring that there will be no taxes on SS for 90% of recipients and an enhanced deduction (whatever that means) for retirees 65 and older.

WTF!

My husband's notification went straight to junk mail.

We are living in the upside down world.

[yardwork]

6. No. It sounds like a scam. Delete it and don't click on anything.

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. It's not

https://blog.ssa.gov/social-security-applauds-passage-of-legislation-providing-historic-tax-relief-for-seniors/

[yardwork]

8. I'm not going to click on that.

[Eliot Rosewater]

10. Do a Google search and you'll see

[yardwork]

23. I just got the email myself! Good Lord!

This is appalling. It even refers to "the big beautiful bill!!"

I'm so disgusted.

[Eliot Rosewater]

25. It pisses me off, I'm sure it pisses you off.

The American people better respond to all of this with the kind of anger and fury that we’ve never exhibited before.

[Eliot Rosewater]

9. Just google it and you'll see

[markodochartaigh]

11. I haven't gotten one yet.

But my email for Social Security is AOL. It may be a few days. Lol.

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. Just do a Google search, this is real

[markodochartaigh]

15. Sure,

I believe you. I'm just saying that AOL is really, actually slow.


On a side note, authoritarian Strong Leaders love to have their names on everything. It doesn't surprise me at all. And I think that Democratic politicians could actually adopt this strategy for their own benefit.

[Eliot Rosewater]

18. I should've gave you a lol that was a good joke actually

About AoL email. And I didn’t think you were doubting me. I’m used to being doubted thoughwhen I post YouTube videos about the election being rigged you wouldn’t believe how many people here won’t even watch it. They’ll just make fun of me without even watching it

All kidding aside
does AOL really still exist?

[markodochartaigh]

21. Haha, I think that

I'm about the only person still using AOL.

And, I just checked my spam and reloaded my mail and it still hasn't come through. But AOL is free, and much easier to use now that they updated their language from Ancient Sumerian.

[Eliot Rosewater]

24. There are several different type of subscriptions

You can have at SSA, probably most people aren’t signed up for this particular one so you wouldn’t get the email, which is a good thing

[Deuxcents]

31. I use AOL..rarely get emails and don't believe I've ever received one from SS. I thought they only mailed notices

[markodochartaigh]

43. If

I recall there is a regular mail option and an email option, and maybe an option for both. I received my Social Security email at 8:27 tonight. Previously I donated to a few candidates using my AOL email and now I get at least 50 emails a day and far more when they are really raising money.

[markodochartaigh]

44. I did receive the Social Security email at 8:27.

I understand what you mean about the election rigging. I find Greg Palast's videos completely persuasive and I wish that the Democratic party would have supported him at the highest level. But with the supremacist court and the maga movement it would have been incredibly difficult to achieve any kind of justice. Everyone says "That would be so divisive" LMFAO, WE'RE ALREADY THERE!

[SheltieLover]

13. No, I did not receive it.

Don't click any links. Sounds like spam to me!

[John1956PA]

14. The SSA release claims that it is because of the bill that . . .

. . . ninety percent of Social Security recipients will not pay taxes on their benefits.

I am thinking that such percentage (or greater) was always the case.

[markodochartaigh]

20. I think that it is a four

thousand dollar increase in the standard exemption for those over 65. I bet that this 90% is just some bs number Trump came up with on the fly.



Projections1 show that an annual average of about 56 percent of beneficiary families will owe federal income tax on their benefits from 2015 through 2050

Among beneficiary families that owe income tax on their benefits, the median percentage of benefits owed as income taxes will increase from about 11 percent in 2015 to 12 percent in 2025 and remain stable through 2050.

https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/research-summaries/income-taxes-on-benefits.html

For now, about 2 out of every 5 Social Security recipients will pay federal income taxes on their benefits, usually because they have other income in addition to their benefits, according to the IRS


https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/personal-finance/is-social-security-taxed

[John1956PA]

22. Yes. The threshold for other income to cause . . .

. . . Social Security benefits to be taxed is not high. If there is somewhere around $16,000 in other income, the Social Security benefits start to get taxed. If the other other income is only a little over the threshold, then only a small percentage of the Social Security benefits gets added to the net income which is taxed pursuant to Form 1940.

[Klarkashton]

28. I'm still working so this is maga deal is utterly worthless

I'm sure that is the case with a lot of people.

[Klarkashton]

29. It's practically nothing. Whole trump makes billions

On Bitcoin scams

[Wiz Imp]

34. The bill's average benefit to seniors is an increase in after tax income of just $670.

(see post #32) Not exactly the major windfall that Trump promised, is it?

[Eliot Rosewater]

30. Yes, it was always the case

It is as usual a lie, they do nothing but lie. Wait that’s wrong. They don’t do nothing but lie, now they kill.

[rzemanfl]

37. I know from experience it doesn't

take much outside income to start having SS taxed.

[WENSTJDON]

16. Yes. I received it

I deleted it after I saw the words big beautiful bill.

[generalbetrayus]

17. I clicked on the link (I have a really good virus/malware blocker) and looks to be the real thing.

Soviet-style propaganda on US government websites for the win, Alex.

[Eliot Rosewater]

19. Really pisses me off, but nothing will change until we realize

This is not business as usual, this is not politics, this is war. Actual fucking war and until we respond accordingly, we’re dead meat.

[Klarkashton]

26. Shit in this. I've been waiting 2 fucking months now

To get signed up. I waited unit I was 70.
Nothing those doge and maga fucks can say right now except pay the fuck up.

[beaglelover]

27. Yes, I got the email.

[Wiz Imp]

32. Yes, I got it. It's appalling and disgraceful. It should be illegal.

It's total propaganda. More imitation of third world dictator stuff. This makes me really mad. It's also a lie:

What’s inside the new tax law?

Temporary provisions good for 4 years
In addition to the permanent provisions, the legislation includes numerous temporary deductions and credits good only for tax years 2025 through 2028, including:

An added senior tax deduction. People who are age 65 and older will get an additional $6,000 deduction that begins to phase out at incomes of $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers. Note: The enhanced deduction would be in addition to the $2,000 single filers and $3,200 married filers are currently able to deduct if they are 65 or older.

What isn't in the new law?
No taxes on Social Security. The legislation does not include President Trump's proposal to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits, which are taxable up to 85% for individuals with income of more than $34,000 or a couple with combined income of $44,000 or more. However, the additional $6,000 deduction for people who are 65 and older may help offset taxes on Social Security benefits for some individuals with income at these thresholds for the next 4 years.

So not only was eliminating taxes on SS benefits a lie, the alternative measure which is supposed to help seniors is only temporary for 4 years. Not only that but check this out:

https://apnews.com/article/trump-congress-big-bill-tax-social-security-adea287e00c7c553f69f3667d3ef78cc

Touting a new Council of Economic Advisers analysis, the White House said Tuesday that “88% of all seniors who receive Social Security — will pay NO TAX on their Social Security benefits,” going on to say that the Senate proposal’s $6,000 senior deduction “is estimated to benefit 33.9 million seniors, including seniors not claiming Social Security. The deduction yields an average increase in after-tax income of $670 per senior who benefits from it.”

The average benefit is a whopping $670. Now, I know, even $670 would be a welcome benefit for many seniors. However, since that is the average benefit, those with lower income will see even lower benefits than that. Not exactly the windfall that Trump was promising, is it?

[Croney]

33. I just got it. All I can say is WTF.

[Rebl2]

35. I haven't

gotten one—yet.

[deRien]

36. Yes...

that was a quick response for this administration...

[dem4decades]

38. Yes I did, the gaslighting is relentless. Who will be vigilant against these government lies ?

[Totally Tunsie]

39. Nothing here...yet.

[Greg_In_SF]

40. Just received mine

a few seconds ago @10:12pm EDT.

[LexVegas]

41. I got it. nt

[moondust]

42. Got it.

Trump Toady Frank Bisignano was sworn in on May 7 as the new SSA Commissioner. Of course he's going to spin and hype everything if he wants to keep his job.
