How Can We Help With Social Security Retirement Planning?

Social Security is a crucial part of preparing for retirement. Created in 1935, the Social Security Administration (SSA) was designed to help protect people from becoming destitute if they become disabled or too old to work. It provides benefits to retirees, disabled workers, widows, widowers, and their families.
For Social Security planning help, you need advice from a team of professionals who know all the ins and outs of the system.

This is where Interactive Wealth Advisors come in.

We are a team of social security financial advisors who offer personalized service and guidance so that you can make informed decisions about your future.

Personalized Social Security Retirement Benefits Analysis

We gather information on your work history, earnings, family, and other factors to assess your situation. We will then present a personalized analysis of your expected monthly Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) and social security benefits.

Social Security Claiming Strategies

We will discuss your claiming options, including when you should start receiving benefits. We can also help you decide whether delaying benefits would be best for you and, if so, how long you should wait before applying.

Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs)

Our advisors and experts specialize in analyzing annual increases in Social Security benefits, known as Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs), which are determined by changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). We can assess whether your COLA is expected to be higher than usual in the coming years and how this might impact your social security income planning.

Who Is It For?

Our Social Security planning services cater to a diverse group of people. Those that can benefit from our smart planning services include:

Retirees

Our PERS retirement plan services guide you in assessing the income you’ll require during retirement. We provide actionable steps to secure your future financial well-being and explore potential additional income based on your work history.

Couples

Many couples may qualify for two Social Security benefits: one for each spouse. This is called “combined benefits” or “married filing jointly” status.
If you’re a married couple and one of you is retiring, we can help you with social security planning for couples strategies for the future. We aim to ensure your shared retirement income is enough for both of you. It’s crucial to have a sufficient combined nest egg for your retirement needs.

Widow/Widowers

If your spouse has passed away, you can take steps to ensure that all of their assets pass on as intended. Our Social Security widow(er) planning services will help you navigate this difficult time so that you can continue living comfortably in your home without worrying about finances.

Other categories of people who can benefit from our social security planning services include
Those planning early retirement and want to know when they will receive their first check.

Individuals planning for early retirement looking for clarity on when they will receive their first social security check.
People who have already retired but have not yet received benefits because they haven’t reached full retirement age (FRA) or have stopped working before reaching FRA.
Individuals with disabilities or those assisting family members in applying for disability benefits.
Divorced spouses who may qualify for spousal benefits.
People who need family wealth transitions solutions to smoothly transfer their wealth to children, grandchildren, and others. Often, these families possess significant assets tied up in their businesses, necessitating expert guidance for seamless ownership transition.
As a financial advisor for small business owners, we can help with wealth management financial planning, and transfers without disrupting the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is social security planning?

Social Security planning is a process that helps you understand the options available to you when you retire, allowing you to make informed decisions about your future.

Why should you do social security planning?

Social Security planning is crucial as you gain clarity on your Social Security benefits, allowing you to decide whether to claim benefits early or wait until later in life.

Is it worth hiring a financial advisor for social security planning consultancy?

Since Social Security is integral to retirement planning, we believe everyone should work with a Social Security financial planner for professional advice. So many factors go into Social Security planning, and an expert will offer invaluable input.

How can Interactive Wealth Advisors help?

As a financial advisor specializing in social security, we provide customized social security consulting and corporate retirement plan consulting to help individuals and companies develop a comprehensive retirement and legacy plan that addresses their unique needs.

How much does it cost?

Our competitive charges vary depending on your specific situation. We have additional fees for services, such as investment management, tax planning, and estate planning. We believe in transparency, so we will always provide you with an estimate of all costs in advance.

How do your other income sources impact social security planning?

Social security benefits are determined by average lifetime earnings, placing more emphasis on peak-earning years. If you have a higher income, you can expect a more substantial monthly benefit when you retire.

How do age and health status factor into social security planning?

Age and health status can impact social security benefits. Claiming at 62, for example, means reduced monthly benefits while delaying until your full retirement age or beyond increases them. Furthermore, if you have a chronic illness or expect a shorter life, claiming benefits earlier might make sense. Waiting to claim benefits could have significant financial advantages if you’re in good health and anticipate a longer life.

Besides social security benefits, what are alternative income sources for retirement?

Social Security benefits alone may not suffice for retirement. Many people supplement their income with various sources, such as pension plans, personal savings in IRAs and 401(k)s, real estate investments, annuities, and earnings from part-time or freelance work. Our Social Security planners can work with you to explore alternative income sources to ensure financial security during retirement.
