Ask Rusty – About Including “COLA” in Benefit Projections

September 6, 2021 | Presenting: Russell Gloor - AMAC Foundation Social Security Advisor

Dear Rusty:  In your reply to “Confused Senior” about when to claim Social Security benefits, I noticed that you did not take into account any compounded annual increases in benefit payments. While these are not guaranteed and are dependent upon the economy, they do affect the difference in total amount that can be drawn between eligibility age, full retirement age, or age 70. Would you please address this? Signed: Stickler for Details
