Social Security calculator for Medicare beneficiaries
The Social Security Administration says it has updated its online calculator so people enrolled in Medicare - but haven't taken Social Security benefits yet - can get an immediate and personal estimate of their future Social Security benefits.
Before the calculator, the agency says, Medicare beneficiaries would have to go to their local Social Security office to ge an estimate.
“With more people delaying retirement beyond the Medicare eligibility age, it is critical that they also have access to this easy-to-use online tool,” said Social Security Commissioner Michael J. Astrue, in a statement announcing the calculator upgrade.
