    You mean from your social security benefit checks?  You would have to ask SS that.

    I sent in my cancellation of withholding on 9/29/17.  Today's deposit still showed withholding.  Tried to call SSA and there was no one available to take my call, try later....  Frustrating.

    Probably takes a month or two.  I would wait until the next deposit and see.

    It took two months when I did it about three years ago.
