I'm applying for retirement benefits and need to know what information I'll need.
================
I can help you with this. The first thing you will need is your social security number.
Have you began applying for your benefits already?
Yes. I'm in the process of completing it right now.
Okay. If you haven't already done so, be sure to gather the documents listed on our Checklist for Online Medicare, Retirement, and Spouses Application.
================
What if I include information about my family members when I apply?
We will use the information from your application to let you know if they are also eligible for benefits.
================
I have difficulty seeing. Is it okay to have my daughter help me fill out my application?
Absolutely, but only you can legally sign the application.
================
My husband already receives benefits. Can I apply to receive benefits on his record?
Yes. You may be able to receive retirement benefits on his record.
================
Is it still okay for my daughter to help me if I apply online?
Yes. You can have someone assist you in filling out the application, regardless of which method you use.
