Social Security Analysis

Social Security can be claimed as early as age 62 or as late as age 70.  Upon reaching full retirement age, you are eligible to receive the basic benefit amount. However, the timing of when you file will determine if you receive more or less than the basic benefit amount. Delaying to file after the full retirement age will increase the benefit amount by 8% a year up until age 70. Filing before full retirement age will result in an amount that is lower than the basic benefit. Many individuals have trouble deciding when to file for Social Security. As financial planners, we have the tools available to help you make an informed decision, based on your unique goals and circumstances. Reach out today!
