I have entered a pension with a given annual amount from Social Security covered employment and a 50% survivor rate.
I have set the inflation rate under Assumptions to 2%
No matter what I set the Annual Inflation Index to for the pension (0%, 2%, 4%) the Pension Income on the non-Asset Income Report drops by 2% per year. My expectation was that it would remain constant.
What am I missing?
I am trying to see the difference between a pension with Inflation Index of 2% (1% less than modeled inflation) vs. and a pension with 0% Inflation Index. When I changed the index from 2% to 0% the pension didn't change. Did I miss something or is this a bug?
