I am 62 & 2 months now

Considering you do not get your first check for 3 months, I ask this:

If I apply now, when I do get a check is the paid amount based the date I applied at 62 & 2 months

OR

does it add on the 3 months & you get the 62 & 5 months amount?

Thank you,

AM

have you called them?

they are very helpful

@AnnMarie-1   Suggest you contact the Social Security Administration.  Such questions asked here are rife with misinformation.  Contacting them is very easy.

I just tried calling the 800 # & they said no one available at the moment & to call back & hung up,  too funny, not even put on hold

Or go to your local SS office.

**take notes**  Better yet tape record them w/their permission of course.

Not going to be easy to talk to someone as they say to call another time & disconnect your call, great

[AnnMarie-1]

I might have to go in person, yes

Judging by the few cars I see in the social security parking lot that I pass by, they are only seeing you in person by appointment.  So, you still have to call.

@AnnMarie-1 Nothing about SS is "easy" I've found.  Just call and call and when you get put on hold, put the phone on speaker, go about your business and wait.

Going to the office is waiting with a lot of people.  Can't you go online and get the information?  I think they have places where you can calculate the information and play around with the numbers.

Local SS phone #'s are no good, won't even ring LOL

I'll keep trying the main SS phone # & if I find out I will let you know!
