Assumptions: He starts off with $170,000 at age 62 (see previous slide). Annual rate of return is 5% throughout all calculations. He starts at 62: He receives $11,500 in per year; she collects spousal ($3,850) when she turns 62; withdraw $36,650 annually He starts at 66: He works until 66 and doesn t touch his personal assets until he retires at 66. At 66, he receives $18,000 in per year; she claims < FRA and receives reduced spousal: $7,500. withdraws $26,500 annually while he is alive. He starts at 70: He works until 70 and doesn t touch his personal assets until he retires. He claims at 70 and receives his benefit + delayed retirement credit = $24,000.

If the spouse claiming the spousal benefit is under Full Retirement Age, their spousal benefit and personal retirement benefit (if applicable) is permanently reduced December 2012 Page 22 What if Both Spouses Worked? Comparing when spouses collect based only on work histories David is 66 His wife Susan is 64 and worked most of her life. What will be their retirement benefits if: Both claim as soon as David retires Each claim at their respective FRA Each claim at 70 This case study is a hypothetical illustration only. Source: Virginia P. Reno and Joni I. Lavery: When to Take Benefits: Questions to Consider, Brief, January 2010 National Academy of Insurance. Assumptions: Assumptions: He is medium earner and has career average earnings close to the average wage of all workers (about $42,000 in 2009). Monthly benefits at: 66- $1,500, 70- $2,000. She is a low earner who s career-average earnings are about $19,000 in Monthly benefits at: 66- $900, 70- $ December 2012 Page 23 Conventional Wisdom: Wait until 70 to Maximize $40,000 $30,000 $20,000 Annual benefits based only on earnings Household : His Benefit Her Benefit $39,500 Household : $27,500 $9,500 Household : $29,000 $11,000 $10,000 $18,000 $18,000 $24,500 $0 Both collect when he Both collect at Both collect at 70 reaches FRA respective FRA FRA stands for Full Retirement Age which is 65, 66 or 67 (Depending on the year the client was born) This case study is a hypothetical illustration only. Source: Virginia P. Reno and Joni I. Lavery: When to Take Benefits: Questions to Consider, Brief, January 2010 National Academy of Insurance. Assumptions: Both claim at his FRA: He receives full benefit of $18,000. Since she is under FRA, she receives higher of her reduced benefit or her reduced spousal benefit (she can not pick and choose benefits if under FRA). In this case, reduced personal benefit is greater than reduced spousal Both claim at FRA: He receives his full benefit of $18,000. She chooses her full benefit of $11,000 which is greater than spousal benefit of $9,000 (0.5*$18,000=$9,000) Both claim at 70: He first claims when he is 70 and earned delayed retirement credit for waiting. When she reaches 70, she claims on her earnings history December 2012 Page 24 8
9 Timing and a Client s Legacy For each strategy, David and Susan want to know Lifetime income Legacy left at their death Assumptions: He starts off with $235,00 in his Traditional and Roth IRA and she has $130,000 in her Traditional and Roth IRA (c.f. EBRI Issue Brief September, 2012); Assume both pass away at life expectancy of a 62 year old per SSA (83 for him, 86 for her) December 2012 Page 25 Lifetime and Legacy: Basic Claiming Strategies Claiming before FRA may dramatically reduce legacy Household Lifetime $585,000 $590,000 Legacy $654,000 $195,000 $305,000 $22,500 Both claim at his FRA (Susan is < FRA) Both claim at their FRA Both Claim at 70 FRA stands for Full Retirement Age which is 66 or 67 (Depending on the year you were born) This case study is a hypothetical illustration only. Assumptions: He starts off with $235,00 in his Traditional and Roth IRA and she has $130,000 in her Traditional and Roth IRA (c.f. EBRI Issue Brief September, 2012); they want $52,000 in annual income (c.f. Consumer Expenditure Survey, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, September, 2012). Assume both pass away at life expectancy of a 62 year old per SSA (83 for him, 86 for her) Both claim at his FRA: Immediately start withdrawing from personal assets: $24,500 annually while both alive, $34,000 annually after his death Both claim at their FRA: They live off her earnings + his until she retires; withdraw $23,000 while both alive, $34,000 after his death Both claim at 70: He retires at FRA; they live off her earnings until she reaches FRA; from her FRA until 70 they live off of assets; when he is 70, he collects, she starts spousal benefits. She switches to her at 70; withdraw $13,000 during both lives; $28,000 after his death December 2012 Page 26 Are there other Options if Both Spouses Worked? Advanced claiming strategies with spousal benefits David and Susan heard that they might be able to change between spousal benefits and their personal benefit based They are wondering How it works If there are restrictions What will be their household benefits if they incorporate spousal benefits December 2012 Page 27 9
10 Household Income Household Income Advanced Spousal Claiming Strategies: Start with spousal, change to personal benefit (if higher) Strategy: Higher Earner Delays until 70 Maximizes his benefit Maximizes survivor benefit Still collect a small benefit while waiting for High Earner turns 70 How it works- Choose between: Change-up Super File and Suspend Ideal Couple: Spouses within 3 years of age Restrictions: Must be FRA to restrict application to spousal only Let s see how this works! December 2012 Page 28 Super File & Suspend: David files and suspends; Susan collects spousal; at 70 both claim + credit $40,000 His Benefit Her Benefit $30,000 She continues with spousal: She turns 70: Changes over to her full benefit + credit: $20,000 Both are FRA He turns 70: He claims full retirement benefit + credit: After he passes away, she receives his benefit $10,000 He files and suspends This allows her to collect spousal benefits He continues to receive delayed credits on his benefits $0 Susan turns 70 David passes away David turns 70 This case study is a hypothetical illustration only. Assumptions: When Both are FRA: He files for and suspends his benefits. This allows her to claim spousal benefits. Plus, he receives delayed retirement credit. She receives spousal benefits based on his record. Because she is FRA, the spousal is 0.5* his benefit at 66= 0.5*$18,000 = $9,000 When He turns 70: He claims his benefit plus the delayed retirement credits. She continues with the spousal benefit in order to maximize the benefit based on her earnings. Total household income is $33,000 ($24,000 for him plus her $9,000 spousal) When She turns 70: She switches to her benefit plus the credit. Total household income is $39,000 ($24,000 for him plus for her) December 2012 Page 29 Change-up: Susan claims ; David starts with spousal, changes over to his benefit plus credits at 70 $40,000 His Benefit Her Benefit $30,000 She continues to receive her full benefit: $20,000 $10,000 Both are FRA Her full benefit He turns 70: Changes over to his full benefit + credit: After he passes away, she receives his benefit His spousal $0 David turns 70 David passes away This case study is a hypothetical illustration only. Assumptions: No Cost of Living Adjustments (to keep the concept understandable) When Both are Full Retirement Age (FRA): She files for and collects $11,000. He receives his spousal. Because he is FRA, the spousal is 0.5* her benefit = 0.5*$11,000= $5,500 When He turns 70: He switches to his plus the delayed retirement credits ($24,000). Total Household amount is When She turns 70: She continues with her benefit. She did not receive delayed retirement credit because she claimed at FRA December 2012 Page 30 10
11 Lifetime and Legacy: Advanced spousal strategies may increase lifetime income and legacy $700,000 $654,000 Lifetime $643,000 Legacy $672,000 $500,000 $300,000 $305,000 $320,000 $350,000 $100,000 Both Claim at 70 Change-up Super File and Suspend This case study is a hypothetical illustration only. Assumptions: Assumptions: He starts off with $235,00 in his Traditional and Roth IRA and she has $130,000 in her Traditional and Roth IRA (c.f. EBRI Issue Brief September, 2010); Assume both pass away at life expectancy of a 62 year old per SSA (83 for him, 86 for her) Both claim at 70: Both work until their respective age of 70 and then retire Change-up: He retires at 66; they live off of her earnings until his age 68 (her age 66). When She is 66, she retires and claims on her benefits ($11,000). He files for spousal benefits ($5,500) and switches to his benefit at 70. They withdraw from their IRAs to make up the difference in income File and Suspend: He retires at 66; they live off of her earnings until his age 68 (her age 66). When She is 66, she retires. He files for benefits and suspends. They receive her spousal and supplement with withdrawals from IRA. When each is 70, they claim their own benefits December 2012 Page 31 Collecting before FRA Both Spouses Worked Can a client pick and choose between spousal or personal benefit before FRA? What if both spouses claim before FRA? No. Choosing between personal benefit and spousal only available if both are 66 (Full Retirement Age) Both receive higher of: reduced personal benefit reduced spousal benefit What if one spouse claims before FRA? FRA is Full Retirement Age. See slide 8 for details Adjusted spousal benefit only applies if a client claims before FRA, and then their spouse claims at a later date. The adjustment is: Spousal Benefit Personal Benefit. This amount (if positive) is added to the client s current benefit Receive reduced benefit based on his/her earnings record When second spouse claims : the first spouse automatically receive higher of : reduced Personal Benefit adjusted Spousal Benefit December 2012 Page 32 Agenda How Benefits Are Calculated Maximizing Income for Married Couples Maximizing After-Tax Income with December 2012 Page 33 11
