Planning for retirement is indeed complex. You need to plan to have enough money to cover your monthly expenses for as long as you will live. And you also need to have a plan for health care -- out of pocket health care expenses are higher than most people imagine and Long Term Care costs are extremely expensive and not covered by Medicare.

Retirement income usually comes from Social Security, your own savings and -- if you are lucky -- a pension.

If you are asking specifically about Social Security, you will need to contact the Social Security Administration.

If you are asking about a pension, you will need to contact your employer.
