Where Can I Find My Current And Age 70 Benefit Rates?

I was born in 1952 and filed for spousal benefits with a restricted application in March of this year.
I no longer see estimates on the My Social Security statement since I’ve started taking spousal benefits.
How do I determine-where can I find my own current and 70year benefit estimate as were shown before?

Hi,

What you experienced is one of the limitations of Social Security's website. For whatever reason, they stop providing online benefit estimates to people who are already drawing benefits, even if they're only drawing spousal benefits.

You could try calling Social Security to ask them to provide you with benefits estimates, but that's a hit and miss process. The Social Security benefit calculator available in our software (https://maximizemysocialsecurity.com/purchase) can give you accurate estimates of your current and age 70 rates, and it would also allow you to fully analyze all of your options so that you can determine your best strategy for maximizing your benefits.

Best, Jerry
