What Should I Do Now?

Hi,
I will be 68 at the end of this month. I have been receiving survivors benefits since I was 60. I keep getting the run around from social security regarding my potential allotment when I turn 70 if I file under my own work record. I would like to find out if it is even worth waiting but they take my info and apparently any reply gets lost before being sent to me. What should I do now? I am getting frustrated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You could use our software (https://maximizemysocialsecurity.com/purchase) to calculate your potential benefit rates between now and age 70. The software would also allow you to compare your various filing options in order to determine your best strategy for maximizing your benefits.

Best, Jerry
