Maximizing Social Security Benefits
Learn about a powerful Social Security strategy tailored for married couples that can significantly boost retirement income.
Delayed Filing for Higher Earner
- Benefit Boost: Delaying benefits for the higher earner until age 70 can result in a significant monthly income increase.
- Survivors' Benefits: The lower earner can receive 100% of the higher earner's benefit post their passing.
While this approach may not suit all couples, it presents an attractive option for those with similar ages and income disparities.
