Above a certain amount, which goes up each year and appears to also be some multiple of your current premiums, you do also get a check back. At the end of 2007, I had $8200 in my SSA. During 2008 I got a distribution of $200, and USAA also added $300 to my SSA, leaving me with $8300 in my SSA at the end of the year.
