Question
#16 I was on active duty USN 10/1963 - 12/1970. I just read that "1957 through 1977” Veterans
of this period are credited with $300 in additional Social Security earnings for each calendar quarter in which they received
active duty basic pay. It sounds like this would apply to me. How should I proceed in inquiring about this?
A1: Social Security
has reported they have completed doing this for all veterans during this time. However, call Social Security and ask to make
sure. (CP) 3/30/2016 A2: I would take my DD-214 to the Social
Security office. They make sure you are corrected. (RJ) 4/4/2016 A3:
To be sure, make an appointment with social security and take your DD 214 to ensure you are squared away. (LG)
