HIT A HOME RUN WITH SOCIAL SECURITY

A home run is a highlight of any baseball game. The fans cheer with excitement to see a player rocket the ball into the stands. So, what are you doing to prepare for your retirement home run? Your goal should be to get past 1st, 2nd & 3rd base and make it home with a hefty plate of savings.

Social Security has many tools to help you achieve financial security. Take the first step and visit socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. The benefit of having a my Social Security account is that it gives you access to your personal Social Security Statement, verification of correct earnings, and an estimate of your early retirement benefits at age 62, full retirement age of 66, and delayed age at 70.
We protect your information by using security features and strict identity verification to detect fraud. In several states including the newly added Idaho, Mississippi, and North Dakota, you can request a replacement Social Security card online. Find out if your state offers the service at socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber.

In addition to using your personal my Social Security account to prepare for a comfortable retirement, you can visit myra.gov. At myRA, you can access new retirement savings options from the Department of the Treasury. This service is designed for the millions of Americans who struggle with saving for retirement — it is an easy and safe way to help you take control of your future.

myRA is designed for people who do not have a retirement savings plan through their employer, or are limited from other savings options. If your employer provides a retirement savings plan, such as a 401(k), learn more about that plan’s potential for matching contributions or other benefits.
Since myRA is not connected to any employer, it allows workers to hold on to it when they move to different jobs. myRA makes your money grow faster than a traditional
savings account.

Having both my Social Security and myRA accounts in place, you are guaranteed to hit a home run in successfully planning for your future. Learn more about all of your
choices at socialsecurity.gov.

Social Security has retirement benefits and the tools to help you plan for your retirement and apply for benefits online. However, that is not all. We also provide disability benefits to individuals with medical conditions that prevent them from working. If the disabled individual has dependent family members, they can also receive payments. There are also survivor benefits for widows, widowers, and deceased workers’ dependent children. When you create your my Social Security account, you can view your Social Security Statement to see estimates of the future retirement, disability, and survivors benefits you and your family may be eligible to receive.
