A secure, comfortable retirement is every worker's dream. And now because we're living longer, healthier lives, we can expect to spend more time in retirement than our parents and grandparents did. Achieving the dream of a secure, comfortable retirement is much easier when you plan your finances.
 

How the Social Security Retirement Planner can help you now

This planner provides detailed information about your Social Security retirement benefits under current law and points out things you may want to consider as you prepare for the future. If you are:

Reminder: You need to sign up for Medicare close to your 65th birthday, even if you will not be retired by that time. (If you are getting Social Security benefits when you turn 65, your Medicare Hospital Benefits start automatically.)

Depending on what you own and how much income you have, you may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) when you are 65 or older. You also may be eligible for SSI prior to age 65 if you are disabled or blind.
