3 Social Security Moves Married Couples Should Make Before Claiming Benefits
Whether you're single during retirement or married, there's a good chance Social Security will end up serving as an essential income source for you. But if you're married, you may have more options than the average senior who's single when it comes to maximizing those benefits. And so before you file for Social Security, make certain to check these important items off your list.
If you and your spouse each worked, you may each be entitled to your own Social Security benefit. But there may be a big discrepancy in those benefits, and so knowing what to expect could help guide your filing decision -- both individually and jointly.
