Household Social Security Benefits Report

This report shows the household’s combined net social security benefit. This net benefit is the sum of the household head’s net social security benefit, the spouse/partner’s net social security benefit, and children’s net social security benefit. The “net” refers to the amount of benefit available after the application of social security’s earnings test.

This panel has four tabs. The first tab, Benefit Receipt, asks about Social Security retirement benefits receipt dates. You may begin by accepting the defaults for these dates, but most users are interested in learning how changing these receipt dates will impact their discretionary spending (and per-adult living standard). The dates are listed (per your birth date) for earliest, full, and latest retirement receipt date.
