Of course. First you should know that successfully filing for retirement benefits isn't the end of your Social Security journey. We have resources to save you time on important retirement tasks and keep you in control of your Social Security account benefits through a free my Social Security account.
That's great to know. Can you perhaps tell me how to protect myself from fraud as well?
Yes. Social Security is diligently working at national , regional , and local levels to combat the fraud that undermines our mission to serve the American public.
So should I inform you about changes in my life or should I keep the information to myself to limit fraud?
Has such a change happened in your life?
Actually yes.
In that case letting us know ensures your benefits and information is kept up to date. Remember to tell us whenever there is a change in your life circumstance that could affect your benefits.
I also hope to find out, I am ready to retire, do you recommend that I apply for my benefits online?
It is important that you apply for retirement benefits online.
What if you don't live in the United States?
