Her 70th birthday is in June so you should request to start her benefit in June. First payment will be in July.My wife turns 70 on June 28th, so I filled out the application to start benefits in July and clicked done. An hour later I found that her 4th week birthday meant she won't get her first check until the 4th week of July. Should I expect them to call with a question of why wait? Or should I go ahead and send in form SSA-521 "Request for Withdrawal of Application"? Or is there another way to change to June instead of July?

To help eliminate any confusion re: benefit starting month and first payment month, you could add a comment that she wants to start her benefit at age 70, with maximum delayed retirement credits.
