Maximizing Social Security

You paid into the Social Security system during your working years. Now that you are considering retirement, you will need to obtain your Social Security benefits statement to determine how much Social Security income you will get during retirement. One of the decisions you will have to make is when to apply for Social Security. This is important, because putting off your application can help you maximize your Social Security benefits.

Keep in mind the average Social Security benefit is different for everyone. Social Security payments take into account various factors, including Medicaid coverage, your average earnings while you worked, and what age you are when you apply for Social Security. We can help you take the guesswork out of Social Security by using a combination of tools, including a Social Security estimator, to make sure you are maximizing Social Security.
