Social Security’s full retirement age is going up.

If you ever paid Social Security taxes, you will get retirement benefits.

You must be a U.S. citizen to collect Social Security.

You can collect more than your full retirement benefit if you delay claiming Social Security past full retirement age.

Social Security recipients are guaranteed an annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA).

If you’re getting Social Security when you turn 65, you’re automatically enrolled in Medicare.

Divorced people can collect benefits on the earnings record of a former spouse.

Children can collect Social Security benefits.

You get less from Social Security if your spouse or children are also collecting benefits on your record.

If you qualify for a retirement benefit and a survivor benefit, you will receive both.

Your retirement benefit can be reduced if you’re still working.

Once you’re getting Social Security, you don’t have FICA taxes withheld from your paycheck.
