Would you like to know how to apply for retirement benefits?
Actually, yeah. Tell me more about it, please.
Well, Social Security offers an online retirement application that you can complete in as little as 15 minutes. It's very easy.
Would you prefer to complete your application in a language other than English?
No, English would be fine.
Unfortunately, no relevant information is found.
So, like, how do I use the online application?
Just select the " Apply for Retirement Benefits " button above, then you will be asked to create or sign in to your my Social Security account and then you go through a series of screens that will ask you questions about yourself, your family and your work.
I'm also curious as to how many credits are required for retirement benefits. I'm 68 years old; how many credits do I need for retirement?
If you were born after 1928, you need 40 credits to qualify for retirement.
I see. Well, what is the number of credits I need for survivor benefits?
The number of credits needed for family members to be eligible for survivors benefits depends on your age when you die. The younger you are, the fewer credits needed.
Are you already receiving retirement or disability benefits?
No, I'm not.
Unfortunately, no relevant information is found.
What should I consider for the duration of my work test?
