The Surprising Way You Might Boost Your Social Security Benefits -- Even When You're Already Collecting Them
Many seniors end up relying on Social Security as a critical source of income. And if you don't have the largest nest egg for retirement, you may be pretty dependent upon those benefits to cover your senior living costs.
Anyone in that boat should do what they can to boost their benefits. And one easy way to do so is to delay a Social Security claim beyond full retirement age (FRA).
FRA kicks in at 66, 67, or somewhere in between, depending on year of birth. But it's possible to accumulate delayed retirement credits that raise your Social Security benefits up until age 70.
