Common Questions
When should I start taking Social Security benefits?
The best time to start taking benefits varies depending on your unique situation. Factors like health, work status, and retirement goals play a crucial role. Our advisors can help you determine the optimal age to begin collecting benefits to maximize your lifetime income.
Can I work and receive Social Security benefits at the same time?
Yes, you can work while receiving Social Security benefits, but it may affect the amount you receive. Our experts can guide you on how your earnings might impact your benefits and help you develop a strategy that balances work and retirement income.
How do spousal benefits work?
Spousal benefits can provide additional income for your household. If you're married, divorced, or widowed, you may be eligible for benefits based on your spouse's earnings record. We can help you understand your eligibility and optimize your benefits.
What happens if I delay taking Social Security benefits?
Delaying benefits beyond your full retirement age can increase your monthly payments. We'll help you weigh the pros and cons of delaying benefits and calculate how it fits into your overall retirement strategy.
What documents do I need to apply for Social Security benefits?
When applying for Social Security benefits, you'll need documents such as your birth certificate, Social Security card, proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful alien status, military service papers if applicable, and your most recent W-2 or self-employment tax return. Our team can help you gather and organize these documents to streamline the application process.
