Double Social Security payments

Tarwheel
in Off-Topic
I’m new to Social Security, receiving my first payment in February. I received one check for the expected amount, but also another for about 10% of the regular amount. This month, I received two checks again — one for the expected amount and another for about 80% of the amount. Is this normal or has SS messed something up? I would call them on the phone to check but I hear that the holding times are horrendous. I’m very confused.

    Never mind. I just realized that one of the extra Treasury payments for this month is our tax refund. However, I still don’t understand the extra payment in February.

    Just a guess, one from Federal tax refund , one from State tax refund ?

    If you have a SSA account, you should be able to get detail about any payments they have made to you. If you don't, you may need to establish a login.gov account or a ID.me account.
