Kenneth Jilek, RSSA® — Personalized Social Security Guidance
Social Security Is Too Important to Guess
Most people only claim Social Security once, but the decision can affect income for the rest of their life. The rules can be confusing, especially for married couples, divorced spouses, widows, business owners, and people still working.
When should I claim?
Age 62, Full Retirement Age, or 70?
The age you choose to claim can significantly impact your lifetime benefit amount. Understanding your options is essential before filing.
Will working affect my benefit?
Earnings limits and reductions
Working while claiming can reduce your benefit. Understanding the earnings test and how it applies to your situation is critical.
How do spousal, survivor, or divorced-spouse benefits work?
Complex rules for complex situations
Married couples, widows, and divorced individuals face unique claiming scenarios. These rules can be confusing but are too important to ignore.
