I'm in that position. I believe if this happened to you before your full retirement age (usually 66 or 67) you lose those four months you delayed in applying. One guy at social security said to put in for an earlier date but another rep said you can only do that if you're retiring at full retirement age.
The retroactive child benefit amount, yes. But, you should also have filed a motion to modify. If you didn't, you still can on future payments, and arrears. see links
this answer should not surprise you.....of course the answer is NO. Red tape has no chargable penalty.
In my recent experience, they gave me a confirmation number when I applied for social security. You will need it for them to access your online file.

Yes, after 24 months.
I plan on living in Colombia SA for six months a year and then six months use. Will social security direct deposit my funds to Colombia SA?
There is nothing 'illegal' about your parents not giving you your social security card. If you are a minor, your parents have the legal authority to make most all decisions concerning many areas. Why do you need your social security card? These cards serve no purpose, and cannot be used as a form of ID. Duplicate social security cards can be applied for at any social security office.
The Social Security Administration recommends filing for benefits three months before your intended retirement date.
It usually takes a couple of months after you've applied and have done the fingerprinting, background search, etc. Once that is completed you can get a temporary green card which allows you to work for 1 year. with that you can apply for a temporary social security number.

You need to immediately report this mistake to your Social Security Administrator.
You can apply for Social Security benefits when you are 61 years, 9 months old or older, and you should apply no more than four months prior to when you want to begin receiving the benefits.
