Social Security Planning
The right claiming strategy can mean $100,000 or more in additional lifetime benefits. Don't leave money on the table.
Social Security Is More Complex Than It Looks
Most people assume claiming Social Security is simple — you just pick an age and start receiving checks. In reality, there are hundreds of claiming strategies available, and the difference between a poor strategy and an optimized one can easily exceed $182,000 in lifetime benefits for a married couple.
Factors like your health, your spouse's age and earnings history, whether you're still working, your other retirement income, and the impact of WEP or GPO (for government employees) all affect the optimal strategy.
