When to Claim Social Security
Manage episode 492251666 series 2280163
You may hear some people say that you should wait until age 70 to claim Social Security to maximize your benefit, and while this may be the right option for many, it is certainly not a one-size-fits-all strategy. Donna discusses how to go about the decision-making process for when to claim Social Security. Also on MoneyTalk, what to do when it's time to use your 529 savings, and how IRMAA affects Medicare eligibility. Host: Donna Sowa Allard, CFP®, AIF®; Air Date: 6/30/2025.

*The fees, expenses, and features of 529 plans can vary from state to state. 529 plans involve investment risk, including the possible loss of funds. There is no guarantee that an education-funding goal will be met. In order to be federally tax free, earnings must be used to pay for qualified education expenses. The earnings portion of a nonqualified withdrawal will be subject to ordinary income tax at the recipient’s marginal rate and subject to a 10 percent penalty. By investing in a plan outside your state of residence, you may lose any state tax benefits. 529 plans are subject to enrollment, maintenance, and administration/management fees and expenses.*
