I am applying for ssa532 to request the money SSA takes out of my check $50/mo finally

[Chiefkahuna]

They say you get 3/4 of a percent increase in payout, after your Full Retirement Age. Every month. If you don't cash out with social security.
And I haven't asked for benefits from SSecurity. I'm 68.5 years old. And was eligible for regular SS 100% at age 66.4.
But I became unemployed 3 months ago. And can't find a job.
I want to wait till age 70, to get the better benefit payout. If I don't pay in to SSecurity my last year and a half, till age 70, Do I still get a 3/4 increase each month until my final SSecurity benefit?

I’m 66 and mine wife is 60 When should I take SS retirement?

[denisemiller]

How do you justify reducing the Social Security benefits of those who worked and contributed the requisite number of years in non-government jobs just because later they became, for example, teachers who did not contribute to SS.

If I don’t take part B upon retirement… but retains federal employees insurance. If I take part B at later date, much later, will I be eligible to get Medicare supplement?

[cheriefinley]

So I saw some lady on AARP that stated you can't claim your own SS and a survivors benefit

[AdvocatePower]

How do I fund the original claim number from SSA that said I owed $4k years ago?

[denisemiller]

Can SS take money from payments made to you as pay back for their mistaken misdirection of funds due you if they also claim to have overpaid you in a separate situation? Why wouldn't they give the same opportunity to pay over time just because you received money in one lump sum?
