Can June application get retro pay Dec-May

If apply for Social Security Benefits in June, can I get 6 months retroactive pay for previous Dec-May since I turned 70 in previous December?

Unsure if 6 months retro includes the month apply so unsure if must apply in May rather than June. My rational is delay Medicare auto enrollment as long as possible (without losing any SSA pay) due to HSA contribution.
