Whether you’re retired or heading toward this significant milepost in your life, it’s important to examine exactly what you’re getting from Social Security.

Maximizing your benefits depends on the steps you take and how you plan out your approach. For those nearing retirement age, it could help to delay benefits a few years and work a little longer. For those already retired, it’s important to ensure you’re getting all the benefits you’re entitled to, including often overlooked options like spousal benefits.

How else can you maximize your benefits? One way is to join our campaign for yearly Cost-of-Living-Adjustments (COLAs), including reimbursement for years that these raises were skipped over.
