Benefit Optimizer for Social Security
When to start taking your Social Security benefits?
This is a critical retirement decision. You may start as early as 62 but the payment reaches full potential at your
Full Retirement Age (FRA) as set by the Social Security Administration. The monthly payment can grow even further if you
decide to wait till age 70. It is nice to start getting the funds sooner than later but does it really work out better?
The answer depends on how long you plan on working, marital status, life expectancy, inflation and other
factors. Married couples may also want to analyze break-even age points for optimizing cumulative benefits.
A careful analysis is needed to make an informed once-in-a-lifetime decision. This app can
