There are few times in life that are full of as much anticipation and excitement as the time leading up to retirement. The idea of once again having all your time yourself, while having the money needed to enjoy life on your time is exhilarating. The key to having excitement for retirement is having a great retirement savings plan so that you can support yourself through retirement. One key aspect of your finances in retirement is your social security benefits. Here are some ways to know what Social Security benefits that you qualify for in retirement.

Retirement

The first social security benefit that you will almost certainly qualify for is retirement benefits. Social Security is a government program that is designed to help insure retirement income for every American worker. Social security benefits are based on your 35 highest earning years of your working life, and you are then paid a percentage of that in retirement income for the rest of your life. The maximum amount that you can get in retirement from Social Security is $3,345 per month. Your monthly payment depends on what you start electing to receive benefits, so plan your retirement accordingly.

Disability

The next Social Security benefit that you might qualify for during retirement is disability payments. Social Security is not just for retirees but is also to ensure that those with disabilities are receiving enough money to live. You may qualify for disability payments from social security if you have an injury or medical condition that limits your ability to work. You need to prove your symptoms in order to qualify for Social Security disability. Seeking medical attention for any sort of medical condition to get documentation is an effective way to gather evidence for a Social Security disability claim.

Medicare

The final Social Security benefit that you might qualify for during retirement is Medicare. Health insurance in the United States is almost always linked to your employer, which can be a problem in retirement. Therefore, the government offers Medicare health insurance to anyone age 65 and older. There are several different aspects of Medicare, plans that include hospital coverage, some that provide medical insurance type coverage, others plan to cover prescriptions, etc. Learn about what parts of Medicare you might be interested in getting.

Social Security benefits are a crucial part of securing a comfortable retirement for yourself. You might be surprised to learn that there are all sorts of different types of benefits from Social Security you may qualify for. Look into all three of these benefits to find what you are qualified for.
