How people get as much as 88% more from Social Security!
Many people may be unaware of the impact various decisions can have on their ultimate social security benefit amount. Timing of election, work income, taxes, spousal benefits, etc., must all be considered in effective social security benefit planning.
Regarding the timing of elections, for example, according to a recent study covered by CNBC, someone who retires and begins claiming Social Security at age 70 would receive a benefit that’s 76 percent higher than the one he or she would receive at age 62. The CNBC piece points out that if you factor in late-career earnings replacing a zero-income year, the increase can become as much as 88 percent for women and 82 percent for men.
At Frye Retirement we are familiar with the complicated algorithms, and can crunch the numbers and guide you with any of your social security planning questions. For the full CNBC piece click here: how to get 88% more from social security.
