Retirement
WildDove -- One other thing to do to gather some facts to work with is to request a Social Security Statement, which you can do online. This will give both you and your husband (assuming you both have worked in covered employment....and sorry to use such bureaucratic language) a good idea of how much you will receive in social security retirement benefits when you do retire -- assuming you aren''t retired already.
To request a statement, go to www.ssa.gov. Right now there''s a blurb on the main page about delays in requesting Social Security Statements, but click on that item and it will take you to the request from. You can request it online and it will be mailed to you.
If that blurb is no longer there when you go to the site, click on the button on the left labeled something like "How do I....." and then look on the next page for the button for the Social Security Statement. The agency is mailing these out to all working folks through time, so you may even have received one that way. But request a new one to get the latest estimate.
