Social Security Benefits at FRA

By Terry Savage on June 10, 2023 | Financial Planning / Retirement

Hi Terry…I reached Full Retirement Age. Do I need to know anything before I apply to start receiving benefits? Thanks

Terry Says

The one thing you should know is that if you wait until age 70 to start taking benefits, you will have an increase of 8% a year (maybe better than the stock market??) and thus a higher base for future inflation adjustments. Do wait if you can afford to!
