Americans Are Clueless About Social Security’s Filing Rules

Citing a recent survey by GOBankingRates where nearly 40% of respondents thought they could file for Social Security retirement benefits at age 60, Maurie Backman states it is imperative for folks to get schooled on the program’s filing rules.  This piece explains the different filing ages from 62 to 70 along with consequences of filing earlier (reduced monthly income for life).  It also covers the link between work and benefits.  Social Security calculates benefits based on workers’ 35 highest years of earnings.  Read Backman’s full piece here.
