Checking Up on Your Social Security If you don't know how much you'll get from Social Security when you retire, find out now! Call 1-800-772-1213. Ask for an Earnings and Benefit Estimate Statement. You just may be surprised at how much (or how little!) you will receiveI check on this every couple years.

They send them out automatically now don't they? At least, I've got one the last 2 years without asking.

Carl, I ordered one in 1998 or 1999 (prerollover prep), and received one unsolicited a while after that. I never compared them, probably should. I recall I had to indicate a number of assumptions in the one I requested. SS may have made very different assumptions in the one it sent on its own initiative. It may be more valuable in confirming what SS thinks your employment history has been than in determining how much you will receive.

Mine comes regularly and has several payment options based on retirement age. It does show all my previous work history, too. I didn't realize I was such a workaholic! LOL
