Of course. Before you apply, be ready to provide your Social Security number and information.
What else should I do to prepare for my application?
First gather the documents listed on our Checklist for Online Medicare, Retirement & Spouses Application. Instructions on how to submit your documents will appear at the end of the online application.
Can I withdraw my application if I change my mind?
Yes. Sometimes life changes occur after you submit your application. You have up to 12 months to withdraw your application, if you change your mind. You will be required to repay any benefits you've already received.
Alright. Can I fill out my application but wait before sending it in?
You can save your application to finish another time if needed. Next time you sign in, go to Return to a Saved Application.
What if during my retirement I want to live outside of the U.S.?
Contact the Federal Benefits Unit for your country of residence if you live outside the U.S. or a U.S. territory and wish to apply for retirement benefits.
Do you want to know what an account is?
Sure. Why not?
