Timing of Social Security Benefits, here are some resources for you

When to elect Social Security may be the most important decision your clients make about their retirement. Yet the average client knows startlingly little about how to make the right decision that maximizes their Social Security income.

What might surprise you is just how many of these clients are now looking to you, their financial advisor, for guidance in this space. According to our research, 57% of married couples age 60–66 expect Social Security advice from their financial planner; 56% say they would actually look for another advisor if their current one couldn’t help them with Social Security.

Consequently, it is our position that Social Security Planning is on its way to becoming a cornerstone service for financial planners. If you’re unfamiliar with the mechanics of Social Security and how to maximize it, don’t worry. Social Security Timing^® has assembled a number of resources to support you as you begin having these discussions with your clients.
