    • Thank you for your question, Linda. We do not have access to personal information, therefore, we do not do direct messaging in this venue.
      In most cases, once your application for retirement benefits is submitted electronically, you’re done. There are no forms to sign and usually no documentation is required. Once we receive your application, we’ll review it. After the review, we will contact you if we need more information or if we need to see your documents.
      Just a reminder – please be cautious about posting personal information on social media and communicating personal information via email. We hope this helps!

    • Asking a specific question in social media will never get you an answer since you can not and should not post personal data. If you applied for social security, you received a letter as to why you were not approved and you received your appeal rights. If you can not read ask a friend to help you.

    • Call 800-7721213 and ask them. We can’t help you on a social site or go in to the local office. Take a copy of the death certificate in to the bank where he had direct deposit. There are a lot of ways to cut off payment. By the way, any next of kin can do the same thing, you don’t have to use up your valuable time.

    • Hello Carol, you may be able to receive benefits on your ex-spouse’s record at age 62 if:
      • You were married to your ex-spouse for at least 10 years;
      • You are unmarried;
      • Your ex-spouse is entitled to Social Security retirement or disability benefits and,
      • The benefit you are entitled to receive based on your own work is less than the benefit you would receive based on your ex-spouse’s work.
      If you’re eligible and qualify for benefits, you can apply online. For more information, please visit our Retirement Planner: If You Are Divorced. Thanks!

    • Thank you for your question, Nancy. Disability Benefits are paid to people who are unable to work because of a medical condition that is expected to last one year or more or to result in death.

Please see our listing of impairments, and visit our “Frequently Asked Questions” web page on disability for more information.

  24. This new on-line format is not helpful. I could not find the formula that I previously could find which enabled me to calculate how much I would receive in benefits if I stop working (retire) at age 62, but wait to take my SS benefits until I reach my full retirement age of 66 and 4 months. How do I find that formula on your new on-line website? And, why has it been and why does it remain SO difficult to find this information? Is the fed govt forcing us to take SS at age 62 out of sheer frustration?

  25. And, has it occurred to you that everyone who has commented above (including me) was completely unaware that they were communicating with THE WORLD. I thought you were allowing me to send a message to you, and you alone. I was expecting a personal response. Fortunately, I have not shared any personal information (current age, address, DOB, SS#, anticipated benefits). You should be mindful of this, and advise folks to be discreet BEFORE communicating with you by this manner. NOTE: I send electronic messages to Pres. Trump. He/his staff, have been very responsive. I’ll share my comments with him about this site.

    • Just thought would mention that the subject about putting personal info on this social venue is not good idea and they also mention that they do not have access o your personal info and then direct people to contact the SSA they even say they do not respond to the person privately. It was these comments that saved me from putting my info and just calling the SSA.
      Thanks

  26. Good Evening,
    I have applied for Disability 2015. I had my hearing on August 28th, 2017 in Washington County, Maryland. I was told that I would hear or have a decision within 30-60 days. I have not heard anything as of yet. I am wondering what is possibly may be going on with my case. I call the number for the Social Security Administration and however, all I hear is they still have not made a decision as of yet. I am tired of calling and trying to speak with someone and hearing “Oh, they have not made a decision as of yet”. How long does it really take? It’s almost the first of the year and everyday I am expecting a phone call or letter; and I hear nothing. I even tried to reach someone with the Office of Administrative Hearings and was referred back to the main number for the Social Security Administration. I am a very sick person dealing with heart issues. And I have no income for myself. I would like to know what’s going on.

  27. If you are granted SSDI in another state, and then move to Florida, can you lose Social Security benefits in Florida? Does Florida have different rules for SSDI (from other states)? Has Florida’s SSDI benefits changed and/or are they different from other states? Are mental health issues acceptable reason to receive SSDI benefits (if all requirements for receiving SSDI benefits are met and earned)?

  33. I was granted benefits starting in September, with the first payment in October. However, the system will not accept any changes to either address or bank info. I’ve went into our local social security office twice, going in again today, but it’s been three months and they say they have a known system problem with some people not being able to update address or bank info. It’s not been 3 months and I would like to know if there is a special help department that I can contact. No one seems to be able to help other than say, “Sorry”. Thank you,

      • I ended up going into our local office after waiting for an hour on the phone and not getting anybody. The good news is that the guy I talked to there pulled up my account and right away saw that I had not been getting payments for several months. He got his supervisor involved, and he/she was going to personally talk to the computer folks and get the system fixed. In additional, they issued a ‘critical’ payment since no payments have been going through for almost 3 months. This is going to take a ton of pressure off me and I’m glad I went into the office and found someone who listened to me and didn’t tell me to just wait longer. Thank goodness I was able to get that type of help today.

  37. The 2% raise we supposedly got has left me with less money. It was my understanding that medicare would be raised to $109 instead $125. My gross check is only $965 and with the 2018 income my net amount is only $819.60. It was hard enough to live on $823 before. I am 82 years old and on no medication thank God. I worked all my life too and when my husband passed I lost the social security I had paid in. Please inform me why I am paying $125 for medicare.

    Then I tried to call someone and try to get help, NOPE, nothing there either. So I guess I will waste earthly resources and have them send me a tree every three months. I think this whole thing is a scam.
    It’s pretty bad when you can’t even get the right department while on the phone. Transffered 3 or 4 times and then “CLICK”. All done! Well as for me….all done as well.

    • Hi, Margaret. In order to change your name on your Social Security card, you must show us a document that proves your legal name change. If the document you provide as evidence of a legal name change does not give us enough information to identify you in our records, you must show us an identity document in your old name (as shown in our records). It is the identity document (also known as your ID) that we will accept if it has expired, however, we still will need to see proof (legal document) of the name change. We offer the option to mail your completed application with original or certified documents to your local Social Security office. Visit our Frequently Asked Questions for more information and to determine which documents you may need. Or, you can go to your local office to make the changes. Just a reminder – please be cautious about posting personal information on social media. We hope this helps!

  66. My 28 year old son has been on SSI since he was is 6th grader. After suffering a severe stroke 2007 he is still recovering at home . Since he’s been totally disabled over half his life but completely these past 11 years, is he eligible for Medicare since it’s been over 24 months he’s been ill?

    Reply ↓

    • Angela, thank you for your question. SSI recipients are eligible for Medicaid and Social Security disability beneficiaries qualify for Medicare after receiving benefits for 2 years.

      If your son was disabled before the age of 22, he may be eligible for child’s benefits if he has a parent that’s deceased or starts receiving retirement or disability benefits. We consider this a “child’s” benefit because it is paid on a parent’s Social Security earnings record.

      The “adult child”—including an adopted child, or, in some cases, a stepchild, grandchild, or step grandchild—must be unmarried, age 18 or older, have a disability that started before age 22, and meet the definition of disability for adults.

  67. There is nothing telling you how to find out what is going on with your application. For example, I was approved for benefits way back in September. I was supposed to begin receiving benefits the first week in November but there is no information about the process, etc. And you simply can’t reach a representative online or by phone. You used to be able to leave a callback number if the waiting list was too long. Apparently that is no longer an option.

    • Hi, Judy. Thank you for your question. To qualify for spouse’s benefits, your husband must be receiving retirement or disability benefits. Also, when you qualify for Social Security benefits on your own record, we pay that amount first. But if you also qualify for a higher amount as a spouse, you’ll get a combination of benefits that equals that higher amount. Visit our Retirement Planner: Benefits For You As A Spouse for more information. For specific questions, please call us at 1-800-772-1213, Monday through Friday, between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., for assistance. Generally, you will have a shorter wait if you call later in the day. You can also contact your local Social Security office. We hope this helps.

  71. Please respond to my question that I have tried to get answered all year. I withdrew a ONE time funds from my IRA account in 2017 to purchase a condo for my son. Unaware that not only the 10% and tax bracket change penalty but also would incur further reduction on my monthly SS for a said one year. This being a one time event, will my monthly SS automatically go back to the previous after this year or do I have to report it in some form? This was not a work related income but my own money for a one time withdrawal. Please respond and advice on what I need to do. Thank you kindly!
