I can't see what I'm typing. I did not want early ss I just wanted to see theoretically how much I would get so I can plan pt work to tend to my husband w dementia. They approved which concerns me that they will start early at a lower rate for life.

Insurance? I do not understand. What does that (Medicare?) Have to do w ss? I can't get a hold of ss to find out how much my monthly benefit check would be at this early age (64) - versus at full retirement at 66 yrs 6 mos. Are you talking about Medicare covering 80% and I need a private co. To cover the other 20%? I know all this. My husband is retired on ss and Medicare, plus UHC supplement. Why do they withold/hide the amt. From Me that I would get now and as time/age goes on until full retirement? I do not even know that figure. It's crucial for planning (pt work).

SSA Sets the rate at approximately 80% of your salary. It's best to also be a member of a private insurance provider to cover the SSA Offset.
