The date you can takeyour “full” benefits depends on theyear you were born. Currently the ageis 67 but you can take “early” benefitsstarting at age 62 or even wait untilage 70.Many Americans start taking paymentsat age 62. Based on the current SocialSecurity tables, your maximumpayment would be 30% lower than thefull benefits at age 67.Are my Social Security Payouts taxable?This amount will be adjusted everyyear based on the Social Security costof-living increase.For many Social Security recipients,their income is in the middle rangeand 50% is taxable. For example, asingle person with taxable income ofapproximately 25,000 to 34,000would pay tax on half of his or herSocial Security. The taxable incomeis called the modified adjusted grossincome and includes adjustments forsome types of tax-free income.Additionally, if you start to takeyour benefit at age 62 and continueto work, you will lose part of yourSocial Security payment. For every 3 in income (over an indexed limit)you earn between age 62 and fullretirement age, you lose 1 in SocialSecurity benefits. By taking yourpayment at age 62, you receive botha lower payout for your lifetime andreduced payments for the years untilyour full retirement age.Which is better for me?A typical Social Security paymentreplaces approximately 40% of yourpre-retirement income. To qualifyfor Social Security, you need to havecontributed to the fund for 40 quartersor 10 years. Your Social Securitypayout will be dependent on yourhighest earning years.In the 1980s, Congress decidedto increase the age for full SocialSecurity benefits from 65 to 67. Foranyone born after 1960, the full SocialSecurity retirement benefit is availableat age 67. In addition, if you workafter age 67, there’s no reduction inyour Social Security payment. Youcan continue to receive the full workincome and the Social Security benefit.If you continue with your presentemployment and do not need yourSocial Security income, you canreceive an increased benefit bydelaying the start of payments to age70. This could result in a significantincrease over your normal retirementamount. The amount increases byabout 8% per year.Founders SocietyThe Founders Societyis comprised of thoseindividuals who have chosento include Northeast in theirestate plan with a deferredgift for the ultimate benefit ofthe College and its students.Anonymous (2)John & Diana BlaylockDr. Michael & Susan ChippsVern Fairchild & the late Lucille FairchildScott & Angela GrayDr. Wade & Kristine HerleyThe late Robert & Joan HodgsonDaniel & Dr. Tracy KruseDave & Ann LundEd & Corinne MorrisIndividuals with lower incomes do notpay any federal tax on Social Security.Generally, single filers with an annualincome under 25,000 do not pay.You may have invested funds, aretirement fund or some other formof income that will raise your annualtaxable income above 36,000.Because you already paid tax on yourhalf of the Social Security, you mayfeel that anything higher is a verysubstantial tax. However, with theincreasing need to fund Social Securityin the future, it is highly improbablethat will change. ¾The late Norman OchsnerDirk & Jan PetersenMark & Beth PfeilBrian & Rose Ann RogersJeff & Lori SchererBrian & Nicole SedlacekJohn & Vickie SehiDr. G.
