Should I File Now Or Wait?

My lowest year of earnings was when I was out of work...at age 60. 48,000. After that I was making up to 100K+. I just lost my job - 64Y 6M. Should I get benefits now or try to wait until 66?

Looking for waiting benefits vs now.

Hi,

That's a personal decision, and it depends on your circumstances. You should strongly consider running the maximization software available on this website in order to explore your options and determine your best strategy.

Best, Jerry
