What You Don't Know About Social Security Can Hurt Your Retirement
Chances are good that Social Security benefits will be a key source of income in retirement. In fact, for half of older married couples and seven in 10 unmarried seniors, at least half of household income is from the Social Security Administration (SSA). And for one in five married retirees and 45% of singles, a whopping 90% of every dollar coming in is from the SSA.
But while seniors may rely on their retirement benefits to cover basics, many pre-retirees have major knowledge gaps that could cause their benefit checks to be far smaller than they could be.
