The Problem
Most couples leave tens of thousands on the table by claiming too early.
😕
No coordination

Couples often claim independently, missing survivor benefits.

⏰
Claiming too early

Starting at 62 permanently reduces your monthly check.

💰
Leaving money behind

The higher earner delaying can boost survivor benefits significantly.

⚕️
Health not considered

Life expectancy changes the math – few tools account for it.

Questions
Everything you need to know.
What if one spouse is much older?
The tool accounts for age differences – it often makes sense for the older spouse to claim earlier while the younger delays, especially if they are the higher earner.
How accurate is the $100k+ figure?
Based on typical median incomes. The exact amount depends on your PIA and longevity. The strategy comparison shows your specific numbers.
Can we claim and then suspend?
The rules have changed. The guide focuses on straightforward claiming ages, not complex strategies like 'file and suspend'.
What if we're already claiming benefits?
You can still adjust – if you're under full retirement age, you may be able to withdraw your application within 12 months. The guide mentions this.
Does this include spousal benefits?
Yes – the lower earner may claim spousal benefit if it's higher than their own. The strategy accounts for that.
