Welcome GrandmaBlodg!
You might start here. You can learn about the benefit amount online and many of your questions can be answered.

I would suggest you read this link to learn about retirement benefits and which plan might work best for you. Just learning about them does not require you to sign up now. There is a separate link for that. If you want to try to speak, in person, to a Social Security counselor you can look up where the nearest facility is. I am not sure how long of a wait you will have until you can meet in person. I imagine you can try to speak to someone over the phone. In all honesty, you might chose to speak to a couple of different SS counselors because I was given two different amounts by two different counselors in the same facility although they were a couple of months apart.
