Maximize Your Social Security Benefits
There are many variables involved in creating an income strategy for today’s retirees. Your Social Security Benefit is an asset, and if managed incorrectly, it could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars over an individual’s lifetime. Manage it well, and it becomes an integral part of a retirement portfolio. Perhaps the most impactful decision you can make regarding your Social Security will be:
When and how you should take your Social Security income benefits?
There are a number of factors you need to consider when evaluating your options:
- How can you maximize benefits for both you and your spouse?
- How do you best coordinate your Social Security benefits along with your other retirement assets to create your Retirement Income Plan?
- If you have a Government pension, such as PERS, but you are also eligible for Social Security from other employment, how do you best coordinate your Social Security benefits along with your Pension Plan?
