This is especially important for people who may have been the victim of fraud or breach.<\/p>\n<p>The profile allows individuals to see an estimate of their future benefits, which can help them\u00a0determine the best strategies for claiming. The earlier someone claims their benefits before their Full Retirement Age, which is based on their birthday, the less they\u2019ll get of their benefit every month. At Full Retirement Age, retirees get 100% of what they\u2019re owed and if they delay up to 70 years old, they\u2019ll receive even more. When to claim depends on other sources of income in retirement as well as life expectancy and health, but having an idea of what to expect can help create a solid financial plan for the future. <\/p>\n<p>Another benefit: You can confirm your wage history and ensure the information the government has is accurate. This is critical for receiving the right benefit later. Social Security benefits are based on numerous factors, including lifetime earnings and the average monthly earnings of the past 35 years with the highest pay.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Creating an account is simple. Individuals must be at least 18 years old, have a Social Security number and a valid U.S. address as well as an email address. After going to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.socialsecurity.gov\/myaccount\" class=\"icon none\">www.ssa.gov\/myaccount<\/a> and creating an account, the SSA will verify the person\u2019s identification, send a security code and determine the best measure of communication, such as email or text.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Alessandra Malito\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alessandra_Malito\"><\/span>Alessandra Malito<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
