I am 64 years old and my wife is 59. I have been employed for 30 years and my wife is a stay home mom. I plan on retiring at age 66. what benefits will we be entitled to at that point?
Hi,
I have been retired for two years now, retired early (age 63). Upon my full retirement age can I collect my full benefits? Thanks Larry
Hi,
If by 'retired' you mean that you started drawing your Social Security benefits 2 years ago, then the answer is no. When you reach your full retirement age (FRA) your reduced retirement benefits would continue to be paid at the same rate.
My DOB is 10/17/1953. I have lost my job, but will get another job and continue to work until I can get the maximum Social Security benefit possible for me. I don't know how long it will take to get another job. How will being out of work effect the maximum amount I can receive and/or when I begin to receive that amount. Currently my SSA report says at age 70 I will received $3627 a month. I have purchased Get What's Yours, but was not able to find the answer in that yet.
Hi,
I'm a single 66.5 year old, and I recently "retired" from my Information Technology career. I'm trying to hold out until age 70 to collect my Social Security benefit. According to my Social Security statement, I would collect $3232 per month if I start at age 70. I have now started working part-time doing something I love, but I'm only making about $1,000 per month.......which is a fraction my previous salary. Will these lower wages during the next 3.5 years adversely affect the Social Security benefit that I will start taking at age 70? Thank you.
Hi,
I am 68 and still working full-time. At MY own full retirement age, I began receiving SS benefits against my ex-husband's account. (We had been married 13 years.) I was advised by the SSA representative to receive ex-spouse benefits from his account until I turned 70, at which time I would stop receiving his benefit and begin to collect my own benefit.
The yearly social security statement provided by the SSA includes an estimated benefits section that tells me how much I will receive if I work until ages 62, 63, etc. This estimate is based on my "current earnings rate." How accurate is this estimate if I only work until 59 or 62, but don't start drawing until 66 or 70? I have to assume that since the estimate is based on me continuing to work, that the SS estimate would be way off if I stopped working early, even though I didn't start collecting until later. Do I have this right?
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?
