Career Military and Social Security
Yes, you may be owed this money
If you made a career out of your military service, and served between 1957 and 2001, and haven't applied for Social Security, you need to do so. It turns out that during those years, the DoD took out Social Security contributions. These don't magically start paying when you reach 65 or 66. You have to apply. If you don't apply, they are just lost. If you are already getting Social Security, these service payments are already reflected.
