Can I withdraw my Social Security retirement claim and reapply later to increase my benefit amount? (2024)

If you change your mind about receiving benefits, you may be able to withdraw your Social Security claim if it has been less than 12 months since you were first entitled to benefits. To withdraw your claim, you must meet all of the requirements, including making the request in writing and repaying the benefits that you received.

If you withdraw your claim, you may re-apply at a future date.
