I need help regarding my retirement benefits.

Do you need help with applying for retirement benefits?
Yes, please.
Social Security offers an online retirement application that you can complete in as little as 15 minutes. It's very easy.
Do you prefer to complete your application in a language other than English?
No, English is fine for me. Thanks.
Well, the online application will give you the option to schedule an appointment to apply for benefits in your preferred language. It is currently only available in English.

Do you have more information about Medicare?
If you want to know more about Medicare, visit the Medicare page to find out.

Is there anything else I should know before applying?
Before you apply for retirement benefits, there are certain Social Security "basics" you should know about. For example regarding your full retirement age.

Can I use special characters when answering some of the questions?
Unfortunately, you may not be able to use periods, commas, and other special characters when you answer some of the questions.

What if I want to apply for benefits at a later time?
You may do that, but you will not be able to check the status of your application until one month before you start receiving benefits .
