15. Benefit payments will differ Age 62 $750 Age 70 $1,320 Age 66 $1,000

16. Spousal benefits Spouse is entitled to a greater of the benefit based upon their own benefits or 50% of the spouse’s benefit. Example #1: Dawn and Adam both have reached FRA. Adam’s benefit is $1,200 and Dawn’s benefit is $1,400. Both would receive their own benefit amount. Example #2: Steve and Sue have been married for 35 years. Steve never worked and does not qualify for Social Security. Sue’s benefits is $1,800. At FRA, Steve’s spousal benefit would be $900. Steve could begin receiving benefits at age 62, but would be reduced since he is not at FRA. Example #3: Jerry and Mary both have reached FRA. Jerry’s benefit is $800 and Mary’s is $1,800. Since half of Mary’s benefits equals $900 that is greater than Jerry’s benefit of $800. In this example Jerry would be entitled to $900 instead of his own benefit of $800.

17. Jerry and Mary’s benefit options Mary could take her benefit of $1800 Mary could increase her benefit amount by deferring up to age 70. At age 70 her benefit amount would be $2448 Mary’s Benefit $1,800 $ 1800 divided by 50% = $900 Half of Mary’s Benefit $900 Jerry can either take his benefit of $800 Jerry can take half of Mary’s benefit which is $900 Jerry’s Benefit $800

18. Survivor benefits Widows and widowers can begin taking benefits based on their own earnings history and later switch to survivors benefits or vice versa. Survivor benefits can be taken even if the surviving spouse files before full retirement age. This allows the survivor to take a benefit at age 60 based on the deceased’s earning history and allow their own benefit to grow until age 70. Survivor benefits are equal to full retirement benefit the deceased would have received.

19. Survivor benefits Widow or Widowers Earliest to Begin (Reduced) Benefits 60 50, if disabled Maximum Benefit 100% of deceased worker’s Benefit If Spouse Has Not Reached Full Retirement Age, Takes Benefits And Continues Working Benefits will reduce by $1 for every $2 you earn over that year's limit If Deceased Worker Started Benefits Prior To Full Retirement Age The maximum benefit is limited to what the deceased was receiving if they were alive

20. Survivor benefits Widow or Widowers Typical SituationsA widow or widower, at full retirement age or older, generally receives 100 percent of deceased worker's basic benefit amount A widow or widower, age 60 or older, but under full retirement age, receives about 71 - 99 percent of the deceased worker's basic benefit amount If You Re-MarryMust be unmarried when you file for (widow or widower's benefits or your new marriage must be one that Social Security can disregard Can continue to receive benefit if re-marry after age 60 or age 50 if disabled

21. File & suspend An option that married couples might find valuable is “file and suspend” Example: Kris and Katie have just turned 66. Katie wants to retire, but Kris wants to continue working until 70. Kris’ monthly benefit would be $2,000 and Katie’s would be $900. If Katie can claim spousal-benefits, her monthly benefit would be $1,000. Taking advantage of the file and suspend option. Kris can file for benefits at age 66 and immediately suspend receipt of those benefits. His monthly benefit as a result will continue to grow until at 70. Katie can then claim spousal benefits of $1,000 a month while letting her own retirement benefits grow until age 70. At age 70 her monthly benefits, because of delayed retirement credits will be $1,224. At age 70 she can claim the higher benefits on her own record.

22. Kris & Katie’s options Kris could take his benefit of $2,000 Kris could increase his benefit amount by deferring up to age 70. At age 70 he would receive a benefit of $2,642. Kris’ Options Katie could take her benefit of $900 Katie could take half of Kris’ benefit which is $1,000. Katie’s first two options Katie could claim spousal benefits or $1,000 a month until age 70. At 70 she can claim her own delayed benefits of $1,224. Katie’s other option

Also, withdrawals will be taxed as regular income. 65 Start taking minimum withdrawals from most retirement accounts by this age; otherwise, you may be charged penalties in the future. Receive Social Security full benefits, depending on your birth year. Sign up for Medicare and Medicare Part D. 50 59 1/2 62 70 1/2

26. What is the best approach for me? 45% 16% 19% 17% 2% It really depends on your situation: Can you afford to delay taking benefits? When do you plan to retire? How much income do you need in retirement? What other sources of income are available to you in retirement?
