The things you probably already know about Social Security

  • In order to receive Social Security benefits, you need to have earned enough credits throughout your working years.
  • You can claim Social Security as early as 62 and will want to claim no later than age 70 as there is no additional benefit to wait beyond that point.
  • Your Social Security benefit may increase annually to keep up with the rising cost of living. This is known as a “COLA” (Cost of living adjustment)

Important things that you may not know about Social Security

  • If you start taking Social Security BEFORE your “Full Retirement Age” (which is between 66-67 depending on what month/year you were born) you will have a significant reduction in the lifelong benefit.
  • Drawing AFTER your FRA (up to age 70) will result in an increase in lifelong benefit. This increase accrues at 8% PER YEAR! But waiting may not always be ideal, so this takes planning.
  • In the event of your spouse's passing, you could be eligible for survivor benefits to help maintain your income.

These things can be complicated; there's no shame in asking for help.
