Beating the clock how delaying Social Security pays off
Elaine Lanza explains delaying retirement benefits can increase monthly checks. With full retirement ages around 66 for those born 1943–1954, delaying to 67 yields 108 percent and to 70 yields 132 percent. Benefits stop growing after age 70, and longer work increases lifetime earnings for higher future benefits.
