Any Change In Compensation Rates For 2010

[signalsix]

Normally the new rates are posted on the VA website on 1 Dec, but I don't see any new rates for next year. Does anyone know if they are going up or staying the same for 2010?

yea it was but it was for the inflation in 2008 which due to the 3.50 gas which led to a large inflation and food jumped up due to shipping and feed, etc remember the COLA raise is always for last years inflation so we are never getting ahead of the game we are always playing "ketchup"

I got a letter from Social Security telling me that I am now On Social Security Retirement instead of SSD as of Dec 1.

Pete they don't reduce your payment from SSD when they convert your to regular SS do they did they do this on your 62nd or 65th Birthday? I hope to live long enough to find out myself so I am curious as to how they handle it thanks Mike
