I need just medicare
You will be asked to agree to the terms of service agreement and create or login to your personal SS account.
I'd like to raise another question about the advantages and disadvantages. If you could tell me if it helps to postpone benefits, it would be great.
If you delay your benefits until after full retirement age you may be eligible for delayed retirement credits that would increase your monthly benefit. There are other things to consider when making the correct decision about your retirement benefits, so it is best to contact Social Security before you decide when to retire .
but how will it be if I start benefits early?
your benefits will be reduced a fraction of a percent for each month before your full retirement age .
what is full retirement age then?
Full retirement age is the age at which a person may first become entitled to full or unreduced retirement benefits .
but I can retire early whenever I want ?
