Staying on top of all the adjustments to Social Security can be difficult. A different COLA every year, new legislation, and rising inflation can all impact your benefits. According to The Motley Fool, there are a few changes to Social Security that every retiree should know.
You might need to adjust your spending or saving as a result of these three changes:
- Rising inflation – Seniors who continue working could find that they are unintentionally earning past the point of needing to pay taxes on their benefits
- Low COLAs – Cost-of-living adjustments don’t always reflect the spending needs of seniors
- Changes to full retirement age – Discover your full retirement age so your benefits aren’t reduced
