But then of course came the kicker:
"Your estimated benefits are based on current law. Congress has made changes to the law in the past and can do so at any time. The law governing benefit amounts may change because, by 2041, the payroll taxes collected will be enough to pay only about 78 percent of scheduled benefits."
I'm not planning on receiving any type of government sponsored retirement benefits, so it's interesting that their numbers still show a 78% payout prediction. We shall see.
Oops, I just went out and pulled out last year's statement to compare and apparently I was eligible last year and didn't know it. You mean I worked all of 2008 for nothing?! ;)
