Frequently Asked Retirement Questions

 

If you currently have enough Social Security credits to qualify for benefits, you can use the Retirement Estimator for a retirement estimate based on current law and real time access to your earnings record.

After a secure log-in using your name, Social Security number, date and place of birth and mother's maiden name, the estimator lets you create additional "what if" retirement scenarios based on current law.

Note: If you are eligible for a pension based on work that was not covered by Social Security, please use one of our other benefit calculators. The Retirement Estimator will not include the possible effect of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) in your estimate.
