Does the online social security estimator function cease to operate properly after you reach full retirement age? It was flawless until last month and has not updated since. I tried entering a retirement date for age 70 and the monthly estimate was only $40 higher than the previous month. Their is no change between November and October. I set up an account but am unable to access it and don’t care to deal with the bureaucracy. Any insight would be appreciated.

Hi. I can't speak to the functionality of the benefit estimator on Social Security's website. I can vouch for the accuracy of the benefit estimator included in our software (https://maximizemysocialsecurity.com/purchase), so you may want to strongly consider using our software program to do your Social Security planning.
