Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: November 3, 2023
National Social Security Month is celebrated in April and is dedicated to educating you about Social Security programs and services. From programs that help support you through life’s journey, to services that help put you in control, to systems that help protect what’s important to you, Social Security is committed to helping secure today and tomorrow for you and your family.
During National Social Security Month, we encourage people to take control of their future with my Social Security. Create a personal my Social Security account to check your earnings history, confirm you have enough credits to retire, see an estimate of future benefits while still working, or manage your monthly benefits once you begin receiving them. You can also check the status of your claim or appeal, request a replacement Social Security card, and get an instant benefit verification letter.
Our Retirement Estimator is another great tool that provides you with immediate and personalized benefit estimates based on your own earnings record. This allows you to receive the most accurate estimate of your future retirement benefits. Estimate your benefits now.
After you have viewed your earnings history for accuracy, confirmed you have enough work credits to retire, and determined the best age to retire, you can get started on the next phase of your life right away by retiring online! It’s fast and easy on our website.
For more than 80 years, Social Security has changed to meet the needs of our customers. During National Social Security Month, and throughout the year, Social Security puts you in control with secure access to your information anytime, anywhere. From estimating or managing your benefits, requesting a replacement Social Security card, to retiring online, visit SocialSecurity.gov today, and see what you can do online.

61 years old my doctor said I need to file for my disability but I was going to retire this year December 25th my birthday so I’m just wondering which would be the best way for me to go would you please send me a text message or email let me know what would be best for me to do thank you have a great day

Carolyn, You can file for your disability now if you have the required quarters and also file for early retirement 3 months prior to your 62nd birthday. You can collect the early retirement even if you are still waiting for a disability decision and if you are approved for disability after your retirement starts your monthly benefit would be adjusted to the disability amount. Good luck

I KNOW SOCIAL SECURITY IS VERY FIXABLE!
EVERYBODY PAYS INTO S. S. NO CAP’S FROM THE PRESIDENT DOWN.
On Bonus, Stock Options, Commision, & On Total Earning
WE ALL LIVE WITH THE VERY SAME RULES. THAN AND
ONLY THAN WILL IT WORK. NO FREELOADERS
This would also help with the economy . I get $1360. a month after 40 yrs of work! Thats not much to live on
