"This is financial advisor, Patrick Munro talking about how to find out if someone else is getting your social security benefits. In a world of identity theft it's important to make sure that your social security number is kept in tact. And also it's important to know this when it comes time for social security payment. You're working directly with the social security administration and if you are sixty two years of age or older and you haven't filed your social security benefits yet, make sure someone else hasn't for you. You need to contact the social security administration and make sure that your social security number is not in payment mode at this time, because it could be going to someone else and that would tap out your benefit pool. This has happened all over America. People target senior Americans that are deferring taking their social security 'till a later date and meanwhile someone has taken their social and has filed the benefits and for them. So be vigilant as well and once you start to receive your check make sure it comes to you by electronic funds transfer, not in a manual check format that could be stolen. This is financial advisor Patrick Munro talking about how to find out if someone else is receiving your social security benefits."
