HERE ARE A FEW INTERESTING FACTS FOR OUR HEALTHY AGING SENIORS, AND FAMILY MEMBERS, WHO WANT TO KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME TO APPLY FOR THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY RETIREMENT BENEFITS AND HOW SOON THE CHECK COMES IN
By Carol Carbutti
If your retired senior parents are thinking about applying for your Social Security retirement benefits, they need to know when to apply and when their first check will arrive. This will help seniors transition their monthly bills. Knowing when to apply and when their first check will arrive will also make a budget less stressful. If your retired mom and dad are going to start their Social Security benefits, they need to know that the earliest they can start receiving a check is age 62.
Comfort Keepers of Wallingford, CT wants all healthy aging seniors to now that they can begin to applying for benefits 3 months in advance of their 62nd birthday. All they need to do is call the Social Security’s toll-free number 1 (800) 772-1213 or you can go to their website and apply online at www.socialsecurity.gov and schedule an appointment at this time. Three months is the typical processing time for Social Security to get its cogs going and start their payments.
When will your parents receive their first check? Every senior needs to realize that the benefits will not start right away. Their first month of eligibility for Social Security at age 62 is the month after their birthday. If they turn 62 on August 15th for example, their first month of eligibility is September. Social Security benefits are paid one month behind, so they will receive their first payment for the month of September in October. This is useful information to help our senior parents prepare their budget. .
