Sure. It's something available to you and other family members by Social Security in certain event or circumstances.
I see. So, any of member under my family can be provided with those benefits?
That's right. Any from your spouse, to other eligible family members.
That kind of benefits apply when i retire, isn't?
Correct. Plus, you can apply for those in cases when you get disabled or death occurs.
Umm, i would prefer to avoid that last one, but is good to know the criteria. Say, what can i do if i already have a significant amount of Social Security credits, allowing me to qualify?
If you have those, you can proceed and use our retirement estimator for a personalized estimate of your retirement benefits. The estimator is instant, and you can use different dates and ages for a better retirement date.
And if happens that i don't have enough points? What do i do?
Then you can go and use one of our benefit calculator, so you can estimate your future retirement, disability or survivor benefits.
These things can be completed using the computer, right?
Are you goind to try it online?
No, i'm only curious about it.
In any cse, you would be willing to do that process, even if we are not able to process your request?
Sure, why not.
