Hey, I was wondering how long I can stay on every page of the estimator. It kicked me out before.
================
Of course. Are you aware of security measurements on websites?
I've heard about that before, yes.
For security reasons, there are time limits for viewing each page. You will receive a warning after 25 minutes without doing anything and you will be able to extend your time on the page.
================
That's what I thought. Still, it is very annoying - I was just coming back from making a tea and found out that your page gave me the boot! By the way, does it matter if I'm currently only receiving Medicare benefits, when I want an estimate?
You can still get an estimate in that case.
================
But it is just an estimate, right? I mean, not really reliable numbers.
Correct. The Retirement Estimator gives estimates based on your actual Social Security earnings record. Please keep in mind that these are just estimates.
================
So, back to my original issue: how long can I stay on each page before I get booted for being idle?
After the third warning on a page, you must move to another page or you'll lose your work on that page.
================
Alright, fair enough. Can you let me know the amount of benefit I am going to get then?
Unfortunately we can't provide your actual benefit amount until you apply for benefits. And that amount may differ from the estimates provided because your earnings may increase or decrease in the future.
