QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS WE SOLVE:
When should I apply for Social Security?
When to claim Social Security is a decision that will last a lifetime, make sure your decision is informed. There is no specific answer, although many people claim Social Security at 62 (as soon as possible). The only way to truly answer this question is to use our dynamic Social Security Maximization software and apply the results to your specific situation.
How can I maximize my benefits?
There are several strategies one can use to get more out of Social Security over their lifetime. The key is knowing if those strategies apply to your situation. A big factor in maximizing benefits is coordination with a spouse (current, former, or deceased). Additional benefits can also be obtained through a “Restricted Beneficiary” strategy in certain situations. The only way to truly answer this question is to use our dynamic Social Security Maximization software and apply the results to your specific situation.
Will Social Security be enough to live on in retirement?
The difference between what Social Security provides and what amount of income you need to live your chosen retirement lifestyle is known as the “Income Gap.” Determining your income gap is part of the retirement planning process. Normally, Social Security benefits fall far short of the actual income need, creating massive income gaps. If that is your situation, then creating a Retirement Income Plan is of critical importance.
