Don't Want to Regret Your Social Security Claim? Do This First.
The choice of when to claim Social Security is more important than you might think. That's because you have the option to start your checks any time after age 62. But the amount of benefits you'll get can vary substantially depending on when you first claim them. Making the wrong choice could leave you with less money each month or less lifetime income, so this is a high-stakes decision.
The good news is, taking one simple step first can empower you with the information you need to make the optimal choice, so you're less likely to be left with regrets. Before you file for benefits, here's what you should do.
