Like many Americans, you may be planning to collect Social Security retirement benefits as soon as you become eligible at age 62.
However, just because it’s possible to file for benefits at 62, doesn’t mean that it’s the best choice for you.
The benefits of waiting
Did you know that for every year beyond your full retirement age you postpone collecting Social Security benefits your monthly benefit amount grows by 8%?
That can mean an increase in monthly income of up to 32%!
This is just one of many reasons why it’s so important to base your filing decision on a full understanding of your options when filing for Social Security benefits.
Know your options
There may be good reasons for filing before your full retirement age. Health concerns and financial need are important and common considerations.
It’s important to remember that everyone’s situation is different when it comes to making the decision of when to begin collecting social security benefits. We find out what’s best for you.
For this reason, we recommend finding a trusted financial service professional to help you get the information you need to make the most of your Social Security retirement benefits.
Based on the information you provide, your financial advisor will illustrate how different strategies can work in your situation.
Imagine being able to compare options and make the most informed decision you can when claiming this important benefit!
