Hello, can you help me with the Benefits Planner, please?
Of course. As you might know, Social Security can provide you, your spouse, and other eligible members of your family with benefits.
================
That's nice and all, but what about benefits for a spouse?
Well, even if you never worked under Social Security, you may still qualify for benefits if you are the spouse or divorced spouse of a retired worker.
================
Yes, that is my understanding. But what about retirement benefits?
Our Retirement Planner will show you how you qualify for Social Security retirement benefits and about possible benefits you may be eligible for on someone else's record.
================
Alright. And what if I want to apply for benefits online?
Do you want to apply for retirement benefits, disability benefits, or Medicare?
Yeah, for retirement benefits.
Then you can complete your application online. You will be asked to agree to a Terms of Service Agreement and create or log in to your personal my Social Security account.
================
Oh, great. And for what are those benefit calculators?
You can use the benefit calculators to help you plan online, using your personal my Social Security account to verify that your earnings are posted correctly and to get estimates of your future retirement, disability and survivors benefits.
