plagueoflife asked:

How long before my birthday do my social security benefits end? I’ll be 18 on the 27th of this month and I receive my payments on the 4th Wednesday of every month, in this case the day before my birthday.
Does this mean I will get paid this month or that my benefits ended last month?

Karen asked:

My mother-in-law is living on her social security benefits alone. Since that is her only source of income she heard that it may be possible to have social security cover her medicare monthly premiums and yearly deductable. If its not through social security is there some other program that does this? If so where can I find out more information? Thank you.

Is there a way to opt out of paying social security taxes?

Filed under: United States — Tags: Federal Retirement, Retirement Income, Social Security Benefits — webworn1 @ 4:20 am

Toni G asked:

Due to the amount of Federal CSRS retirement income that I will receive and the 3 for 2 offset that will be assessed against social security benefits that I may be eligible for, I will never receive any social security benefits. Since I can never receive any social security benefits, is there a way to opt of paying into a system that I will never be eligible to receive benefits from.

Is it possible to collect SOCIAL SECURITY benefits and NOT be enrolled in MEDICARE at all?

Filed under: Insurance — Tags: Social Security, Social Security Benefits, Tricare Prime — webworn1 @ 5:42 pm

Middy S asked:

I obviously wish to keep recieving benifits from Social Security, but the Medicare has really messed up my enrollment into Tricare Prime.

I have Medicare part “A”, but refused part “B”. Now that I want to enroll in Tricare Prime, I have to pay a surcharge ad wait unti next year before I can enroll.

It was so much easier before I collected Social Security because I was enrolled in Prime before and simply paid the quarterly premiums. Then, when I started collecting Social Security, I got tossed from Tricare Prime because I didn’t know any better at the time and disenrolled in part “B” Medicare.

So, if I could, I would rather just completely ditch Medicare if I can just so I can requalify for Tricare Prime and not pay so much out per month.

Can it be done?

Thanks.
Thanks for the answers so far! I am well under 65, and I had TRICARE PRIME first before I got SS, then when I got SS, they automaticially enrolled me in PART B Medicare, then I dis-enrolled to save money because I figured I didn’t need that as I can go to the VA Hospital as well.

What are social security benefits and how important are they to have later in life?

Filed under: Financial Services — Tags: Social Security, Social Security Benefits, Work Abroad — webworn1 @ 5:48 am

Enlightenme! asked:

I am ignorant regarding social security benefits since I am still pretty young.

So I am asking a basic question, what are they and how important are they to have later in life?

Additionally, if I was to work abroad with a foreign employer can I still qualify for it later or would I have to work for a US employer?
