I migrated to USA in 2011, and since then I am working here and paying into Social Security Taxes.
My DOB is 7July 1947. Now I am Citizen of USA
Hopefully I will complete 40 credits in Jan 2020.
Am I eligible to get Social Security Benefits, you can assume average annual salary of 70K,
If elegible then, how much appx dollars per month

Hi,

I am 66 (FRA) and still working full time. If I start drawing my Social Security now will my benefit continue to grow and if so how much? Or would it just be better to wait until I retire to draw?

Hi,

I was put on my medical disability and never finish my full Retirement Benefit, well they increase my SSA Benefits to this day.
beside I can't get my late Husband SSI benefits as Survivor benefits their was none on him so I couldn't claim that, so how do I get extra help with my increase on my retirement benefits.

Hi,

I took my SS at 66 on my husband's account. He is 77 and has been collecting since he was 64 due to health reasons. I believe they awarded me half of what would have been his full retirement since I filed at full retirement age. I will be switching at 70 to my own. These last four years of work have been my highest ever - three, sometime 5 times what I ever made in any year. I know my amount will rise 8% each year; but could it rise more due to my earnings?

Hi,

I’m 60, my wife is 48. She earns much more than me. She plans on working for at least another 10 years. Me, not sure. I assume that I should wait until age 70 to begin receiving my full ss benefits. My goal is to collect the highest benefits possible, naturally. Am I correct?

BTW—LOVE the software!!! Thanks for the valuable service that your team provides! Peace of mind!!

Hi,

I turned 62 in the last part of Jan. and I have a good amount of money saved. Planned on taking Social Security as soon as I can so I don't have to used the money I have in my IRA. I collect a pension and my wife also collects a monthly check. The early check for Social Security check would be around $1900 a month.
Is there anything I can do to increase the amount at age 62.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I saw on the internet where you can get 2750.00 per mo for social security I like to know how can I qualify to get 2760.00 per mo.

Hi,

My spouse and I are planning to retire from full-time work when we are 60. I am one year older than him. We are planning to claim Social Security at age 70. The SSN website includes a statement with the projected monthly earnings that it is based on someone working until they claim SSN benefits (for us that would be at age 70). What is the best methodology to estimate the monthly SSN payment at age 70 if you stop working full-time at age 60? Thank you in advance for your help with this question.

Hi,

I'm 61. Wife is 56. I sold my business last year and am gigging $12K +/-. My wife is a gov worker pulling $87K. MySocialSecurity says I've qualified for $1,580/mon at 66yr/4mon, having worked 38 of 42 years. MySS says she is qualified for $2,085/mon. at 67 years having worked 33 of 38 years. Four questions:
1. If I gig $12K for three years (bumping earning years of $650, $1,800 and $2,000 from my 35 year history), will that significantly change my monthly SS?

Hello,
My job was recently eliminated and I am considering just retiring. Is there still a benefit for me to wait and claim my SS at FRA (66 and 2 months) since I am not working if financially I am able to do so? My age is 62 and 2 months.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Yes. If you start drawing your Social Security retirement benefits at age 62 & 2 months, your benefit rate will be 25% lower than if you waited until full retirement age (FRA) to file. This is true even if you stop working at age 62.
