No problem. Pre-licensing course is a DMV-approved, standardized classroom course that will fill you in on many topics that are important to you as a new driver.


Ah, i see. So you need that before i get my license. Um, by the way, right now a friend of mine wants to change its license class, does he needs pre-licensing?


If he is in possession of a valid NYS driver license, he doesn't need to have a pre-licensing course certificate o a student certificate of completion in order to change license's class. The same will apply to you.

Sure it will. Once you complete that course, you'll get an Student Certificate of Completion, and won't need to pass through the other course. With that certificate you can schedule your road test. Remember to bring it so you can turn it in to your license examiner.


That sounds nice. i'll look into it. But lets say i'm still interested in the other course, how i can find one, please?

Well, you have many topics but for name some of them, you can focus on steering and acceleration, it is pretty much the most important.

Do you have children?


No, I do not.


Do you have information for benefits for my spouse?


Yes. I can help with information if you want benefits between the age of 62 and full retirement age.


What if my spouse already has benefits?


They will get more money based on their own record and your record.


What things should I be aware of as I begin planning for my Social Security benefits?


The first thing you should know is that there are limits on the amount survivors can earn while they receive benefits from you.


Is your divorced spouse under the age of 60 and has he/she remarried?


No, he has not remarried.


What if my widower or ex-spouse are eligible for their own retirement benefits?


This could affect their benefits as a survivor.


What if my widower remarries later and wants to apply for spouse's benefit on their record? What happens if the amount they receive is higher than the benefits they receive on my record?


In this case, your widower would receive a combination of benefits from you and his new spouse that equals the higher amount.


Can my parent's receive benefits on my record if I've been providing support for them?


Yes, but you must have provided at least half of their support. Also, your parents can't be eligible to receive retirement benefits higher than they receive from you.


So, if my widower remarries and starts receiving benefits from his new spouse, he will receive benefits from both of us?


Yes.
