I reach FRA this month, and filed to begin the month after. I was kind of impressed at how fast and easy the process, and how good the communication, were.
I guess, from stories I’ve heard, that I expected it to take a long time and be full of glitches...
They love when you go in person, too. They sit you a someone’s desk and the person answers questions and discusses things with you.
“I was kind of impressed at how fast and easy the process, and how good the communication, were.”
My husband and I agree.
Medicare for my husband, easy as pie, Medicare for me, a mess, took several months. SS for husband, once again easy, SS for me. I have an appointment for 1/6/20 although the SS office said the application date will be counted as 10/24/19.
For some reason the online site hates me and they lock me out. I did all my husband’s stuff online...no problem.
The crazy thing is I applied for Medicare online and then got locked out but when I finally got it 6 months later I had to pay the premiums from the day I applied. I guess if I’d had expenses for that time the bills could have been submitted though.
