Is There A Form That Would Show How Much Extra I Could Receive With Military Credits?

My question is, is there any paper work that you can obtain from social security office on the break down of your entitlement of benefits, to include your extra pay that you may receive for your military service, if so, which would be the the best way to obtain this form from them.

Hi,

I don't know of any such form or printout. In theory at least, Social Security could calculate your benefit rate with and without military service credits and prepare something manually, but I don't know if they'd be willing to do that. It would probably depend on what you need it for.

Best, Jerry
