1 Your Customized Social Security Analysis Joe and Mary Sample 9/1/ Baird Advisor Robert W. Baird & Co (800) This report shows the Social Security income stream you can expect to receive under differing claiming scenarios based on your primary insurance amount as estimated by the Social Security Administration and certain assumptions for life expectancy and future cost-of-living adjustments. The numbers you see here are not exact. No one can ever know the exact amount of their Social Security until it is actually received. But by making certain assumptions and trying out different claiming scenarios, you can see how your lifetime Social Security income may change depending on when you and your spouse claim s. The purpose of this report is to give you a long-term perspective on Social Security, which is one of the few sources of retirement income that continues for life. Married couples have several decisions to make. When will the husband claim his retirement based on his earnings record? When will the wife claim her retirement based on her earnings record? When will the wife claim her spousal based on her husband's earnings record? Or will the husband claim his spousal based on his wife's earnings record? Will either spouse need to file and suspend in order for the other spouse to become entitled to a spousal? The interplay of earned s and spousal s makes for some interesting opportunities for married couples as long as you understand the rules and know which spouse can do what and when. Another important consideration is survivor s. If one spouse dies while both spouses are receiving Social Security, the deceased spouse's stops and the surviving spouse may receive the higher of the two amounts. The income streams shown here incorporate life expectancies for husband and wife. If the husband is expected to die first, for example, the analysis shows his going to zero while the wife either continues with her own or switches to the husband's, depending on which is higher. Part of Savvy Social Security planning is survivor planning for when one spouse becomes widowed. Will the survivor be enough to live on? What other resources will be available? As you will see, the lifetime value of Social Security can vary greatly depending on when you decide to claim s. When your only interest is maximizing Social Security s, there is usually one optimal scenario that can provide the most s based on the assumptions you enter. However, it is also important to consider your own personal circumstances your need for income, your health status and life expectancy, and your other resources such as retirement and investment accounts when deciding when to claim Social Security. This report should therefore be viewed within the context of your overall retirement income plan. How to claim your Social Security s Your actual will be determined by the Social Security Administration at the time you apply. COLAs are determined annually and may be different from the assumptions used in these scenarios. Copyright Horsesmouth, LLC. 1

2 The scenarios shown in this report indicate the ages at which each spouse might claim his or her retirement, and the age at which one spouse may claim a spousal. Both spouses may not receive a spousal at the same time. This is because in order for the wife, say, to receive a spousal based on the husband's work record, the husband must file for his own retirement. Once he files for his own retirement, he may not receive a spousal if his own is higher. So an important part of Savvy Social Security scenario planning is determining which spouse should claim the spousal. Another important part is knowing the rules about when you can and can't claim a spousal. File and suspend. In order for a spouse to claim a spousal, the spouse on whose work record the spousal is based usually the higher-earning spouse -- must have filed for s. But the higher-earning spouse often wants to delay his or her to age 70 in order to earn maximum delayed credits. In that case, the higher-earning spouse can file for Social Security at full retirement age or later and then immediately suspend his. Filing will entitle his spouse to her spousal. Suspending will allow his own to earn 8% annual delayed credits. SSA representatives are familiar with this strategy. When filing by phone or in person at your local office, all you have to do is tell them that you want to file and suspend so your spouse will be entitled to a spousal and so your own can earn delayed credits. Please note that file-and-suspend cannot be done before full retirement age. Here is an SSA publication that tells about suspending s: Claim-now-claim-more-later. Another strategy may call for one spouse to claim his or her spousal off the other spouse's work record when his or her own retirement is higher. For example, let's say the husband wants to delay his to age 70. When he turns full retirement age, he may restrict his application to his spousal and receive one-half of his wife's primary insurance amount for four years while his own retirement increases by 8% per year to age 70. As always, the other spouse, on whose record the spousal is based, must have filed for s. Please note that it is not possible to file a restricted application before full retirement age. Here is some information on s for you as a spouse: How to file. The easiest way to file for Social Security s is online. Just go to and click on "Apply online for Retirement s." However, if you are implementing file-and-suspend or claim-now-claim-more-later, which involve voluntary suspension or restriction of application, you will need to talk with a representative to make sure your intentions are carried out. The safest way to do this is to make an appointment at your local office. Explain to the representative what you are trying to accomplish. If you are delaying your to age 70 in order to earn maximum delayed credits, make sure the representative understands this. If there is any doubt, ask to speak to a supervisor. It is not unheard of for claimants to receive wrong information from Social Security representatives who have not been adequately trained in the nuances of Social Security claiming strategies. A couple of weeks after you have completed your application you will receive an award letter. Make sure the letter matches your intentions. For example, if you are expecting to receive a spousal equal to 50% of your spouse's PIA and the letter indicates a higher amount, the suspension or application restriction may not have been processed properly. In order not to jeopardize your delayed credits, you should notify SSA immediately and have the application corrected. Your actual will be determined by the Social Security Administration at the time you apply. COLAs are determined annually and may be different from the assumptions used in these scenarios.

3 What this report does not include You should know that this report has a number of limitations. Scenarios are not exhaustive. There are hundreds of possible claiming scenarios. This report shows you a handful of scenarios which seem appropriate based on your personal circumstances. We can run additional scenarios if you wish. Results are based on assumptions. The key assumptions used are: 1) the primary insurance amounts for husband and wife as estimated by the Social Security Administration; 2) life expectancies for husband and wife; and 3) future cost-of-living adjustments. If any of these numbers turn out to be different from the assumptions, your actual Social Security income stream will be different. If you wish to use different assumptions from the ones used in this report, please let us know and we can re-run the analysis for you. Social Security may be reformed. It is possible that the Social Security system could be reformed by Congress in the future. Possible reforms may include raising the full retirement age, changing the formula, changing the formula for cost-of-living adjustments, and others. There is no way to know when or how Social Security might be reformed in the future. WEP or GPO may not be incorporated. If you ever worked in a job that did not pay into Social Security and you are entitled to a pension from that job, your Social Security may be reduced. The applicable reduction in retirement, spousal, or survivor s may not be reflected in this report. The earnings test is not incorporated. If you file for s before full retirement age and you work, some or all of your s may be withheld due to the earnings test. These reductions are not incorporated into these estimates. Children's s are not included in these estimates. If you have a child under 18, the child may be entitled to children's s. These amounts are not incorporated into this report. Taxes are not incorporated into the estimates. If your modified adjusted gross income is over a certain threshold, up to 85% of your Social Security s may be reportable as income on your federal income tax return. The estimates in this report do not account for taxes. Please see your tax advisor for more information. This report is for informational purposes only. The purpose of the report is to educate and give general guidance to help craft a personalized approach to taking Social Security. Although the calculator shows an optimal claiming scenario of the ones considered, the use of different assumptions, particularly life expectancy, could change the outcome. It is therefore important for you to consider a wide variety of factors and decide for yourself when is the optimal time to claim Social Security.
