Primary Insurance Amount (PIA) = Benefit at Full Retirement Age (FRA)
• At age 62, average indexed monthly earnings (AIME) are multiplied by three “bend points”
• Example if AIME = $7,260:
$711 x .90 = $639.90$3,577 x .32 = $1,144.64 ($4,288 - $711 = $3,577)$2,972 x .15 = $445.80 ($7,260 - $3,577 = $2,972)Total = $2,230.34
PIA = $2,230.30(plus 2009 COLA of 5.8% = $2,359)
16
Effect of working longer if less than 35 years of earnings
Donna: age 50, no earnings record to date
If Donna’s benefit is based on:
She will receive this monthly benefit at age 66 in today's dollars
She will receive this monthly benefit at age 66 in COLA-adjusted future dollars
Spouse's earnings record ($2,367 PIA in today’s dollars)
$1,183 $2,115
Own earnings record with 16 years of maximum earnings (age 50-66)
$1,655 $2,901
Difference = $472/month in today's dollars$786/month in future dollars
Difference over 30 years with annual COLAs = $434,471

Strategy #3for maximizing Social Security benefits
Coordinate spousal benefits
24
Spousal benefits: Traditional(gender neutral)
• Wife with low or no earnings receives one-half of husband’s PIA
• Rules for spousal benefits• If wife files at FRA, spousal benefit is 50% of husband’s PIA;
if she files at age 62 it is 35%
• Husband must file for benefits in order for wife to receive spousal benefit
• No delayed credits after FRA for spousal benefits
• Same rules for divorced-spouse benefits if marriage lasted 10 years and spouse is currently unmarried
25
Spouses’ benefits based on filing dateHerbert & Lola, both 62 now
Herbert earned maximum over careerHerbert’s PIA = $2,346
Lola had little or no earnings
Age Herbert's worker's benefit (COLA adjusted)
Lola's spousal benefit (COLA adjusted)
Total COLA-adjusted benefit at age 70
62 (both file) $1,759 (75% of $2,346)
$821 (35% of $2,346)
$2,580 $3,218
66 (both file) $2,620 ($2,346 adjusted for 4 years of 2.8% COLAs)
$1,310 (50% of $2,620)

$1,462 ($1,310 adjusted for 4 years of COLAs)
$5,324 $5,324
Assumes 2.8% annual COLAs
26
Strategies from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College
• “File and suspend”• High-earning husband files for own benefit at 66 to make wife
eligible for her spousal benefit• Husband suspends own benefit to earn DRCs to age 70
• “Claim now, claim more later”• High-earning husband claims his spousal benefit at 66 (wife
must have filed for her own benefit)• Switches to his own benefit at 70Warning: these strategies do not work before FRA
• How to decide: Customized scenario planning for each couple based on individual ages and benefit amounts
27
Example of scenario planning
Andy & Alice
Both age 62
Andy’s PIA = $2,200
Alice’s PIA = $800
Which strategy will give them the most annual income?
Which strategy will give them the most cumulative benefits?
28
Scenarios 1-3 for Andy & Alice
• Scenario 1• Alice files for her own benefit now, at 62• Andy files for his benefit in eight years, at age 70
• Scenario 2• Alice files for her own benefit now, at 62• In four years, when they are 66, Andy files and suspends so Alice
can switch to her higher spousal benefit• Four years later, when Andy is 70, he claims his own benefit
• Scenario 3• Alice files for her own benefit now, at 62• In four years, when Andy turns 66, he files for his spousal benefit
off Alice’s record• Four years later, when Andy is 70, he switches to his own benefit
and Alice switches to her higher spousal benefit
29
Scenarios 4-5 for Andy & Alice
• Scenario 4• Andy files and suspends at 66• Alice files for her spousal benefit at 66• When they both turn 70, Andy claims his maximum benefit
• Scenario 5• Alice files for her own benefit at 66• Andy files for his spousal benefit at 66• When they are both 70, Andy claims his full benefit and Alice
switches to her higher spousal benefit

Strategy #4for maximizing Social Security benefits
Maximize survivor income
34
Survivor benefits: traditional
• Both spouses already receiving Social Security when one spouse dies
• Surviving spouse switches to survivor benefit (100% of deceased spouse’s benefit) if higher
• Amount of survivor benefit depends on when deceased spouse originally applied for benefits
35
Lola’s survivor benefit based on age Herbert applied
Age at which Herbert filed for benefits
Lola's survivor benefit at age 70
Lola's survivor benefit at age 85 (2.8% COLAs)
62 $2,370
(81% of $2,346 + 8 years of 2.8% COLAs)
$3,586
66 $2,926
(Herbert's age 66 benefit of $2,620 adjusted for 4 years of 2.8% COLAs)
$4,428
70 $3,862
(Herbert's age-70 starting benefit)
$5,844
36
Survivor benefits important reminders for clients
• Death of a spouse will cause loss of one income (widow’s own benefit will stop when she switches to survivor benefit)
• Remarriage before age 60 disqualifies a widow(er) from receiving survivor benefits
• Same rules for survivor benefits also apply to divorced-spouse survivor benefits
37
Savvy survivor planning for widow(er)s over 60
Is survivor benefit higher or lower than earned benefit?
Recommend the strategy that will maximize the higher benefit
38
Savvy survivor planning
When survivor benefit is higher than earned benefit
• Widow(er) waits until FRA to claim survivor benefit
• Resist temptation to apply for survivor benefit at 60 (71.5% of PIA - permanently reduced)
• Apply for earned benefit at 62 to bring in extra income
39
TeresaWidow, age 60, PIA = $800
Deceased spouse’s PIA = $2,200
• Scenario 1: Applies for survivor benefit at 60
• Scenario 2: Applies for own benefit at 62, switches to survivor benefit at 66
• Monthly income at age 80: • Scenario 1: $2,733
• Scenario 2: $3,821
40
Savvy survivor planning
When survivor benefit is lower than earned benefit
• High-earning widow(er) claims survivor benefit as early as age 60 and lets own benefit earn DRCs to age 70
• Claiming survivor benefit before FRA does not reduce own benefit
• Brings in extra income until age 70• High-earning widow(er)s may not think to ask about
this!
41
Peter & PaulaBoth spouses age 60
Peter’s PIA - $2,389 Paula’s PIA = $1,500
• Paula dies
• Peter claims survivor benefit at 60, receives $1,072 (71.5% of $1,500), from age 60 to 69.
• COLA-adjusted total: $146,000 in survivor benefits that otherwise would have been lost
• Also works for divorced-spouse survivor benefits
• Warning: earnings test applies before FRA

Strategy #5for maximizing Social Security benefits
Minimize taxes on benefits

44
Maximum amount of other income to avoid tax on Social Security benefits: 50% threshold
Herbert & Lola at age 66Half of Social Security benefit: $47,160 ÷ 2 = $23,580
$32,000 First income threshold for married couple- 23,580 One-half of Social Security benefit$ 8,420 = Maximum amount of other income to remain under 50% taxation threshold
Total income:$47,160 Social Security+ 8,420 Other income$55,580 Total income ($4,632/month)
Can they live on this? If not, go to 85% threshold
45
Maximum amount of other income to avoid tax on Social Security benefits: 85% threshold
Herbert & Lola at age 66Half of Social Security benefit: $47,160 ÷ 2 = $23,580
$44,000 Second income threshold for married couple- 23,580 One-half of Social Security benefit$20,420 = Maximum amount of other income to remain under 85% taxation threshold
Total income:$47,160 Social Security+20,420 Other income$67,580 Total income ($5,632/month)
Can they live on this? If not, up to 85% of benefits will be taxable
46
Maximum IRAs to keep RMDs under taxation threshold
Herbert & Lola at age 70:Half of Social Security benefit (COLA adjusted): $58,824 ÷ 2 = $29,412
$32,000 First income threshold for married couple- 29,412 One-half of Social Security benefit
$2,588 = Maximum amount of other income to remain under taxation threshold at age 70
Maximum IRA to keep RMDs at age 70-1/2 under income threshold$2,588 x 27.4 = $70,911
$44,000 Second income threshold for married couple- 29,412 One-half of Social Security benefit$14,588 = Maximum amount of other income to remain under 85% taxation threshold at age 70
Maximum IRA to keep RMDs at age 70-1/2 under 85% income threshold$14,588 x 27.4 = $399,711
47
Tax planning strategies
• Start drawing down IRAs before age 70-1/2 to reduce RMDs which may cause Social Security benefits to be taxed
• Convert traditional IRAs to Roth
• Reduce expenses: pay down debt, adopt simpler lifestyle
• Continue to manage taxes throughout retirement
