<description>My father was born in 1917 and died in 1999...waiting for the Notch Baby problem to be solved.  I think they are waiting for all to die and then they won't have to pay anyone!...</description>

<description>My Dad was born in 1924. Everyone keeps talking about the years 1917-1921, also 1922. What about 1924-1926. My father worked all his life and fought for this country. All he wants is what he is entitled to and nothing more. Where is the justice? Maybe I'm not getting all the facts, I just know that I get sad when my Dad says nobody cares because he's old and born in the wrong year. He shouldn't have to feel that way....</description>

<description>At the time I retired I figured my amount according to the booklet given to me.  When my first check came it was less than shown in the booklet and when I went to Social Security to complain I was told that mine was figured differently....</description>

<description>I am one of the notch babies and it is definitely not of my doing and yet I am penalized and getting less than others who were not within the notch baby period.  Exactly what is fair about this!...</description>

<description>Actually, they are getting more than what is due them.  The notch baby claim is a fraud.  Read AARP ste in regards to this.  Beneficiaries born before the 1917-1921 group did get higher benefits than those in the 1917-1921 group, but htat was due to an error by Congress in the early 70s that was then corrected in 77.  The notch group, while receiving less than the windfall the 1916 group received, got benefits calculated at a higher rate than the 1922 on group, because congress felt it was unfair to take away all of the higher benefits they had planned on.  The reason people who retired after the notch group retired may generally have higher benefits is they earned more during their working years as wages were going up....</description>

<description>It is a shame that we can take care of people that are here illegal, but these people are living in poverty due to nothing being corrected on something that should have never been in effect.  They have worked all their lives, did not expect help from anyone and can barely make ends meet.  This is a shame and needs to be changed now.  We all need to fight for the very few that are still alive and help them get what is due them....</description>
