U.S. Social security

Quick start: You will select the start date of the pension (or spousal pension for the spouse). Make sure to click on Save and continue to get to the next screens. If you contributed to US SS, you will be directed to enter the US SS contribution table on the next screen, and information for the spouse will be captured in screens after yours.

You can choose the age at which to start the payments, which can be as early as 62 or as late as 70. Your full retirement age (FRA; from 66 to 67) depends on the year you were born, and is 67 if you were born in 1960 or later. We set the date of reaching FRA as the default date, but you can change it. Your benefits are reduced if you start earlier than your FRA and enhanced if started later.

Your spouse'information will be captured after yours. Enter the information for both spouses as one could also receive a spousal or survivor's pension.
