Increasing your Social Security Benefit Amount
- Details
- Written by Certified Social Security Advisor Russell Gloor
Washington, DC - I turned 67 in September 2018. My benefit estimate is $1478 a month if I claim benefits now. I work and will continue working as long as I can. My 35-year earnings period includes about ten years of zeros when I was married (twice for about 5 years each). If I claim benefits now will my monthly amount go up if I continue to work? I read that the SSA recalculates each year and uses your high years. I make about $57k a year now and hopefully will continue to do so. Does the SSA replace one of the zero years with the years I work after claiming benefits and raise my monthly benefit accordingly and how much? I truly appreciate your help with this as I would like to decide this month. I have read on SSA that if I don't claim it will go up 8% but I also have read I could be drawing benefits and working too, and this would be a better financial situation. ~ Working Senior
