They do not “claw back” 85% of any Social Security payments.
85% is the maximum of your yearly benefit that is taxable; it depends on your total income. If you received $36,000 in Social Security, are married filing jointly, and have no other income, YOU WOULD NOT PAY ANY TAX on the benefits.

The audio versions of Barbara Tuchman’s books — Distant Mirror, Proud Tower, Guns of August — are available on Libby through my library, and so they might be through yours. All are well read and set a graceful, thoughtful pace for walking.
