SSA: Retirement

  • Description:

    The Social Security Retirement benefit is a monthly check that replaces part of your income when you reduce your hours or stop working all together. It may not replace all your income so it's best to identify other ways to pay for your monthly expenses as you age.

    Eligibility is always based on work. Most jobs take Social Security taxes out of your paycheck so you can get a monthly benefit in retirement. To see eligibility requirements, see our website.

    You can also estimate your benefit amount, determine when to apply, and explore other factors that may effect your retirement planning on our website.
