How to Know If You Need Spousal Benefit Coordination

Many couples miss out on thousands of dollars because they don't understand spousal benefits. Braeburn Wealth Management can help you identify opportunities you might be overlooking.

• One spouse earned significantly less during their working years
• You're unsure when each spouse should claim benefits
• There's a considerable age difference between spouses
• One spouse took time off work for caregiving
• Maximizing survivor benefits is important to you
• You're approaching retirement and need a claiming strategy
• Previous marriages may affect your benefit options

Get every dollar you deserve. Let Braeburn Wealth Management review your situation today.

Why You May Need Strategic Spousal Benefit Planning

Social Security rules are complex, and spousal benefits add another layer of considerations. Making the wrong decision can cost you tens of thousands over your retirement.

• Timing your claims incorrectly reduces lifetime benefits
• Spousal benefits can provide up to 50% of your partner's amount
• Coordination affects survivor benefits down the road
• Early claiming permanently reduces your payments
• Divorced spouses may qualify for benefits you didn't know existed
• Rule changes have eliminated some claiming strategies
• Your decision impacts your spouse's options

We help you navigate these complexities. Connect with Braeburn Wealth Management to develop your personalized strategy.
