I can give you additional information but could be give me your age please?
I am age 60 and would like additional information about retirement benefits.
We don't make recommendations as to when would be the best time for you to start retirement benefits, however, you can start benefits at age 62 or your full retirement age of 70 or any age in between.
I need help deciding what is best for me, could you supply me with additional information about early or late retirement?
Additional information can be found in the page titled Retirement Information for Medicare Beneficiaries.
Are there any benefits to delaying my retirement until I am 70?
Social Security retirement benefits are increased by a certain percentage depending on your date of birth if you delay your retirement beyond full retirement age. This benefit increase no longer applies when you reach age 70.
Is it possible to receive benefits before the month that I apply for them?
Yes you can, however we can not pay retroactive benefits for any month before you reach full retirement age or more than 6 months in the past.
What will happen if I don't sign up for Medicare coverage?
