Important: How Social Security Benefits Work
You can only receive ONE benefit at a time. Review all your "BINGOs" below and work with Social Security to determine which pays the most.
Social Security does NOT automatically know about your marriages, divorces, deceased spouses, and ex-spouses. You must tell them to qualify.
If you marry, divorce, or a spouse/ex passes away, come back for another free checkup.
Compare these and claim the highest one
