So I've decided to apply for early SS at 62 1/2. I'm going to call the SS office Monday. In the meantime, I just read that it takes about 3 months to begin receiving checks. If anyone else is receiving SS, I wonder if the first check includes the 3 months it took them to process the paperwork, or if you actually lose 3 months of payments.
