Lesser Known Social Security Facts

Sep 7, 2023

Social Security is a big part of what we discuss with clients on a daily basis because the majority of us will rely on this retirement benefit for income after we’ve stopped working. Despite its importance to planning, there’s a lot that the average person doesn’t know about Social Security.

 

Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • What are work credits and how many do you need?
  • Some of the rules surrounding spousal benefits and who might benefit.
  • The conditions for claiming benefits from your ex-spouse.
  • What is the earnings test and how does it tie into your benefits?
  • Your Social Security benefits can actually be garnished by the federal government.
