What it solves
"I thought my full retirement age was 65."
For most women reading this it's 67. Check 1 shows yours, and what claiming early costs you for life.
"I don't know if my record is even right."
One missing year lowers your check forever. Check 2 shows how to spot it, and how to fix it.
"I'm divorced. I assumed I get nothing from his record."
Married 10 years or more? You may be able to collect on it, and he's never told. Check 5.

Questions
Who is it for?
Any woman within about 10 years of retiring, or retired but not collecting Social Security yet. Any job, any state. If you worked somewhere that didn't pay Social Security tax, like some schools and public jobs, Check 5 has a note for you.
What do I need?
Ten minutes and your my Social Security account at ssa.gov (you sign in with Login.gov or ID.me). The guide shows you exactly where to look.
Is it really free?
Yes. You get the PDF right away, and Maya's short emails about retirement. One click at the bottom of any email and they stop.
