Abstract

An interview with David Laster, head of Retirement Strategies at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, about his article "When Should You Claim Social Security?" published in "The Journal of Retirement" is presented. He discusses the potential impact of waiting to claim Social Security on monthly benefits and notes that the most popular time to claim benefits is at age 62. He also presents the shortcomings of breakeven analysis and explains how a couple can take advantage of the survivor's benefit.
