thank you for the links to the online tools. I have gone to tha SSA Web site and made online accounts for my wife and myself to print out the annual forms they used to send in the mail, but I don't remember looking at these links.
It almost seems like they try to bury some of this information so that people wait until their full retirement age...even after knowing it is there somewhere I trouble finding it again, thank goodness for "bookmarking" things.

It does seem that way. Just like tax deductions and veterans benefits. We learned of a benefit for only veterans who served during war time and their spouses which could pay about half the monthly charge for personal care and nursing care. We have a financial expert who only does veterans benefits. The lawyer who works with him told us you would think all Dad would need is to submit his discharge papers, some ID, marriage license, and documents from the personal care home, and they would get the benefit. No, we need to put most of what little money they have in a trust and submit almost every financial document known to man! LOL
