Part of what makes our services so reliable is we constantly monitor your progress and make timely adjustments to ensure everything stays on track.

Essential Social Security Tips

  1. Know Your Full Retirement Age (FRA): Your FRA affects how much you'll receive. Claiming early can reduce benefits while delaying past FRA can increase them.

  2. Consider Spousal Benefits: If you're married, divorced, or widowed, spousal benefits can significantly boost your monthly income.

  3. Time It Right: Delaying your benefits until age 70 can lead to higher monthly payouts.

  4. Monitor Your Earnings Record: Ensure your Social Security statement accurately reflects your earnings to maximize benefits.

  5. Plan for Taxes: A portion of your Social Security income may be taxable depending on your overall income.

With these Social Security tips, you can make informed decisions that align with your retirement goals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q When should I start claiming Social Security benefits?

A

The best time to claim benefits depends on your financial situation, health, and retirement goals. Claiming early at age 62 reduces benefits while waiting until age 70 maximizes them.


Q Are Social Security benefits taxable?

A

Yes, up to 85% of your benefits may be taxable depending on your total income. Our Social Security planning services can help you minimize this impact.


Q Can I work and receive Social Security benefits?

A

Yes, but if you claim benefits before your FRA, your earnings may reduce your benefits. After reaching FRA, there are no penalties for working while receiving benefits.


Q What happens to my Social Security if I’m divorced?

A

You may be eligible for spousal benefits based on your ex-spouse's work record if your marriage lasted at least 10 years and you meet other requirements.
