SUMMARY:Maximizing Social Security
DESCRIPTION:One of the most important decisions you need to make before you retire is when and how to claim Social Security benefits. About half of retirees apply for Social Security as soon as they become eligible at age 62\, but by doing so\, they may significantly and permanently impact their income and benefits for the rest of their lives.  \nThe difference between the best and worst possible decision of when to start Social Security can cost you THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR in retirement income – for life! \nThat’s why it’s vital to understand the latest Social Security and Tax rules\, options and strategies BEFORE FILING FOR YOUR BENEFITS. \nLearn how to maximize your benefits\, minimize your taxes\, and make more informed decisions about your retirement. \nWe’ll discuss these important topics – and many more. \n\nCurrent rules and regulations you should understand before deciding when to start your benefits\nHow much lifetime income you could lose by making the wrong decision about when and how to claim your benefits\nThe future of Social Security and what it could mean to you\nStrategies to consider BEFORE deciding to apply for benefits\nMaximizing your Social Security benefits\nCan you change your Social Security election if you’ve already filed?\nHow your benefits are affected if you’re still working\nHow your Social Security benefits are taxed and ways to minimize – or even eliminate – the taxes on them\nWhy married couples could miss out on substantial benefits by not knowing the current Social Security rules\nNavigating spousal and survivor benefits\nThe strategy behind delaying the start of your benefits. Is it the right choice for you?\nCost-of-living adjustments (COLAs)and how they impact your benefits\nHow your IRA\, 401(k) and other income sources work together with Social Security to fund your quality of life in retirement
