Retirement Answers

Social Security is one of the pillars of retirement income. But it can be very confusing when you think about PIAs, FRAs, and spousal benefits.

In this episode, I break down everything you need to know about Social Security Spousal Benefits and how they work. A big misconception I often hear is that "You get 50% of your spouses benefits."

I share why this is a misunderstanding and how spousal benefits are truly calculated. Also, be sure to listen to the end if you are divorced. You could be entitled to spousal benefits if you meet certain criteria!
