Social Security Claiming: Opportunities and Considerations
Even before COVID-19, most people did not claim Social Security retirement benefits at optimal ages—mostly because they claimed too early. Now, with millions of older Americans out of work, many might think about claiming earlier, providing them access to cash now but jeopardizing their retirement security down the road. Faced with this high-stakes decision of when to claim benefits, it is more important than ever that people understand the consequences of their claiming age on their financial security.
Please join the Bipartisan Policy Center for an engaging discussion on why people claim Social Security suboptimally and how public policy can help—during this moment of acute financial stress and beyond.
