I am 63 and have not claimed benefit yet. Both DW and I plan to wait until 70. Meanwhile, do I need to inform SSA my intention? My guess is not, but thought I ask.
Brings up an additional question. We may not be on SS at 65. We have to sign up for Medicare. I assume we'll pay Medicare out of pocket. When we turn 66.5, do they take it out of SS? Do you have to request it?
Yup. Right now you'll pay Medicare, once you start Social Security they'll automatically withhold the premiums from your pension.Brings up an additional question. We may not be on SS at 65.
