Most mornings, I sit down at my computer and open my emails. I find many of the same questions I’ve answered hundreds, if not thousands, of times over the 25 years I’ve been writing this column. And even though it’s “deja vu all over again,” I don’t mind answering those questions because I know that not everyone has memorized all my past columns and these queries are coming from folks now facing some Social Security issues or decisions in their lives.
But for some reason, this morning’s batch of emails was different. They still were questions I’ve dealt with in the past. (I don’t think there is a single Social Security question I have never been asked.) Still, they were not the common questions I’m asked over and over again, so I thought I'd put them in today’s column.
