Understanding the “Break-Even” Point on Benefits Claiming - GoBankingRates

For many folks aging into Social Security eligibility, the question of when to claim benefits poses a bit of a quandary. Claim as early as possible and accept the lower monthly benefit, or wait until later in life and enjoy a higher monthly payment? The decision, of course, depends on several key factors, including one’s personal health situation, the availability of other sources of wealth or income, the family’s longevity history, and one’s own anticipated life expectancy. It’s a formidable decision point in retirement planning, since the choice made is permanent regarding monthly benefit payments. This is where the focus tends to shift to assessing one’s break-even point or, simply, the “…point at which waiting to claim Social Security pays off more than claiming early.” GoBankingRate’s journalist Laura Beck examines the issue in a post on their website, which you can access here

  1. Was joke bribem, nasty piglosi, and gorge sources sued for giving Americans’ soc. sec. to illegal border invaders???

    • Well, I’m happy to inform you that NO Social Security money, nor SS benefits, have been given to “illegal border invaders.” Social Security is only paid to those who have contributed sufficiently to the program (for about 10 years), or their dependents who are legal U.S. residents. The Office of the Inspector General of Social Security vigorously prosecutes any suspected incidents of illegal aliens attempting to collect Social Security benefits. Thank you for your feedback, but I’m afraid your belief has little basis in fact.
