Social Security Benefits: Don't Leave $$ on the Table!
Choosing when to start receiving Social Security benefits is one of the most important decisions today in retirement planning. How do you maximize the benefits for yourself and your spouse? Will there be tax issues related to when you start your benefits? Many people are unaware of the complex rules and strategies, especially when it comes to understanding options regarding potential Spousal Benefits. This causes those without proper guidance to potentially leave thousands of dollars in lifetime benefits on the table simply because they didn't know the rules.
Adding to the confusion is the lack of guidance provided at the local Social Security offices. As this recent article in Money Magazine demonstrates, even the local Social Security representatives do not always understand the rules, which can lead to costly mistakes.
