Retire Online! It’s So Easy!
Did you know that you can apply for retirement benefits from the comfort of your home or
office at www.socialsecurity.gov? There’s no need to drive to your local Social
Security office or wait for an appointment with a Social Security representative. You can
complete the new online retirement application in as little as 15 minutes. It’s so
easy!
In most cases, after you click the .Sign Now. button and submit the application
electronically, that’s it. There are no forms to sign, and usually no additional
documents are required. Social Security will contact you directly if more information is
needed.
If you are uncertain about when to retire, you can check out the online fact sheet, .When
To Start Receiving Retirement Benefits.. And, if you are not ready to retire, you can plan
for retirement using Social Security’s online Retirement Estimator. It is a great
financial planning tool that will give you an immediate and personalized estimate of how
much your retirement benefits would be if you stopped working at age 62, 66, 70 or any
point in between.
