ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Should you start your Social Security retirement benefits in 2027—or wait for a larger monthly check? Before you choose, understand what that decision could mean for your money and your family.
Dr. Ed Weir explains what to consider before claiming: your age, monthly expenses, work plans, health, savings, and household needs. Learn how starting at 62, full retirement age, or later affects your benefit—and why waiting isn’t the right choice for everyone.
We’ll discuss how working can affect payments before full retirement age, why Medicare enrollment needs separate attention, and how spouse and survivor benefits can influence your decision.
YOUR NEXT STEP: Get your personal Social Security estimates for the start dates you’re considering. Compare those amounts with your expenses and the money you would use while waiting.
This video covers retirement benefits. SSI and disability benefits have different rules. Examples do not promise a specific 2027 payment.
