Boomer Facing Tough Social Security Choices
Not everyone knows when they should file for social security or for social security disability because of the current market and its instability. The key question facing people today, especially the baby boomers, is when they should file for their social security benefits and/or disability. Social security benefits help retirees live their life without much worry. It is monthly payments for the remaining lifetime of the recipient. Those payments are inflation adjusted and can be a significant asset for a retiree when they receive the payments.
A lot of people, when they tally their monthly checks for the rest of their life, it might be worth more than what they have saved in their IRA anyway. An IRA is an individual retirement account. Retirees or people over the age of 62 have three different options to choose from when applying for their Social Security. Those three options are to apply at age 62 and receiving a reduced benefit for life, about 25 percent less than full benefits, apply at full retirement age, around 66, and receiving full benefits for life, and apply at age 70 and receiving additional credits for life, which could be as much as 76 percent more a month than what you would have received if you began getting payments at age 62.
