Kelly Shanahan of Global View Capital gave a very informative talk on Social Security this week. The short story is that the longer you wait up to age 70, to take your benefits, the more money you will receive each month. For instance, if you would get $2,000 in benefits at age 66, you would receive $2640 at age 70. If you have started collecting benefits and are within 1 year of signing up, you can suspend your benefits and start collecting again at a later date. Kelly also talked about spousal and survivor benefits and the fact that many people don't know they may be eligible for benefits, even if they have divorced. If you would like to have a consultation with Kelly, please call her at781.773.0009
