Why SSA asked for 1976 W-2 and 1978 earnings estimate
The SSA requests the 1976 W-2 to properly compute 1978 benefits using all closed year earnings. They will refigure benefits after 1977 earnings are reported, with back pay issued if due. An earnings estimate for 1978 helps project potential benefit loss if income exceeds the $3240 limit, $1 reduction per $2 earned over that amount.
