When Can I Start My Application?

I want to retire in June 2021. When can I start my application?

Hi. Social Security allows people to apply for benefits up to 4 months prior to the month that they want to start their benefits, so if you want to start your benefits in June 2021 you can apply now. However, you may first want to consider using our software (https://maximizemysocialsecurity.com/purchase) to fully analyze the options available to you so that you can choose the best strategy for maximizing your benefits.

Best, Jerry
