If you die before you retire or are disabled, you can not "will" your social security to someone. The state gets your money. As far as getting your money, the systems is designed to pay current recipients. Are you sure there will be money in the system at a later date? Here is some reading. http://www.ssa.gov/

ADD: tnfarmgirl: good answer. you are first so far... But here is a question. If you do not reach retirement age, where does the money that you have paid into social security go?

Socialism - a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.

Well Einstein considering I have been contributing for the last 20 years- I'll take what's mine unless that Socialized government chooses to use it on some body else's health insurance.
ADD: I'm 37- I am not sure it will be there or not- My Social Security statement warns me that unless the situation changes by the time I reach retirement age my benefits may be far less than what my statement is reflecting at this time.
More government mismanagement- and people think they should manage health care? I'm sorry- i don't like to gamble- the odds don't look too good with this dealer
add: my understanding is the reason the Social Security coffers are drying up is because people are living longer thus drawing more than was originally allotted for-
Just think what will happen if they grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens who will then be eligible for benefits after 5 years of legal employment.
The money I pay in and do not draw goes to someone else who has put in and is drawing.
It's supposed to work like revolving credit- but it appears we are quickly reaching the end of our credit line.

No and you don't get a verify for Medicare, you pay for Medicare. i hit upon it humorous while human beings say issues like this after the government takes somebody's money for 30+ years for the only purpose of offering retirement earnings. How dare those human beings anticipate their a refund.

By the time I get that age, there either won't be social security or I will have been able to invest my own money for retirement.

I don't care what I am, when the time comes I'm going to without guilt take my checks and enjoy! I earned them and put my money into them so why not?!

Dude....that's like asking "If the sky is blue, will the sun come up tomorrow?" There is no direct correlation between the two.......do a little research, and get back to me.

I will. I have paid plenty into the system. If they didn't take it away from me, I could have earned 5 times as much as they will give me back. I don't quite follow your logic.

LMAO It's going to be broke before I need it. I've actually made other plans. Daring, I know - but there it is.
I want to know why the anti-Christmas people don't DEMAND their right to work on December 25th....

It's MY money. Since the government has been stealing it from me all my life, I'll take it back when they decide to give it to me.

Since I paid for it, yes. Despite the fact that no one asked me if it was okay to take my money, it is still my money. It is not a "hand-out"
