Definitions and Important Information

Marital Status

Married: Currently married under federal definition of marriage. Applicable spousal benefits andsurvivor benefits have been included.

Widowed: Currently not married under federal definition of marriage. Survivor benefits have beenconsidered throughout the tool.

Divorced: If you were married for at least 10 years before divorce. You may receive spousal benefitsbased on an ex-spouse's benefit. It does not have to be the most recent ex-spouse, but yourmarriage must have lasted ten years. Claiming this benefit will in no way affect your ex-spouse’sbenefits.

Single: Currently not married under federal definition of marriage (or were married for less than 10years before divorce). Benefits will only consider your earning record.

Monthly benefit at Full Retirement Age from your Social Security Statement

The monthly value on the printed Social Security statement or from the on-line statement is themonthly value shown in today's dollars. Social Security Explorer has automatically applied thecost-of-living adjustment for you.

Government Pension Offset (GPO)

This provision affects only individuals who have earned a pension from work not covered by SocialSecurity (usually government employees). Two-thirds of the monthly "Non-Covered Pension amount"may reduce any spousal benefits you are otherwise entitled. It does not reduce any benefits basedon your work record covered by Social Security.

Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP)

Individuals who are entitled to a monthly pension from work not covered by Social Security and alsoqualify for Social Security benefits may have their Social Security benefits reduced. The years andearnings covered by Social Security determine the reduction, if any. The Social SecurityAdministration has a calculator on the website to help you determine your monthly retirement benefitafter any reduction. Since each year worked up to starting retirement may affect benefits, the SocialSecurity Administration does not include this reduction in your annual statement. It is calculatedwhen you file for benefits. "Your monthly retirement benefit" shows the adjusted benefit used in thecalculations. For 2013, this reduction is limited to the lesser of $395.50 or half of your non-coveredmonthly pension.

Investment rate

An investment rate of return of 0% should be used if the plans are to use Social Security benefits forincome needs.

When an investment rate is not used, "Cumulative Lifetime Benefits" are shown; when an investmentrate is shown, "Future Value of Benefits" reflects the growth of benefits received.

If there is not an inherent need for Social Security benefits to provide income, an assumed rate ofreturn other than 0% can be used to calculate investing the benefits instead of spending the benefit.

Please note that in order to provide a recommendation about the investment rate of a securitiesproduct, the financial professional must hold the proper securities registration and be currentlyaffiliated with a broker/dealer or registered as an investment advisor.

Cost of Living Adjustment

Social Security Administration determines if a cost-of-living adjustment is made, and if so, howmuch. Typically, benefits have increased by 2.5% to 3.0% in the past. Using 0% will show basic

MAGI may include income such as taxablepensions, wages, interest, dividends, and other taxable income plus tax-exempt interest income(such as interest on municipal bonds) and any exclusion from income, such as interest from USsavings bonds.

ONE SPOUSE SUSPENDS - ONE SPOUSE FILES RESTRICTEDOne spouse files for benefits at FRA but does not collect benefits. The other spouse becomes eligible to file a restricted application to receive spousal benefits until age 70. At age 70, the spouse begins taking their own benefits, potentially increasing the total amount of benefits. The amount of additional benefit received will depend on life expectancy and the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA).

YOU FILE RESTRICTED OR SPOUSE FILES RESTRICTEDOne spouse files a restricted application at Full Retirement Age (FRA). This provides benefits based on the other spouse's benefit amount. The first spouse begins receiving their own benefits (sometime before age 70), receiving increased payments for starting benefits after FRA. The other spouse must already be taking benefits to file a restricted application.

YOU FILE RESTRICTED OR SPOUSE FILES RESTRICTEDOne spouse files a restricted application at Full Retirement Age (FRA). This provides benefits based on the other spouse's benefit amount. The first spouse begins receiving their own benefits (sometime before age 70), receiving increased payments for starting benefits after FRA. The other spouse must already be taking benefits to file a restricted application.

Case Study Date Prepared:

Prepared for:

ONE SPOUSE SUSPENDS - ONE SPOUSE FILES RESTRICTEDOne spouse files for benefits at FRA but does not collect benefits. The other spouse becomes eligible to file a restricted application to receive spousal benefits until age 70. At age 70, the spouse begins taking their own benefits, potentially increasing the total amount of benefits. The amount of additional benefit received will depend on life expectancy and the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA).

One spouse files for benefits at Full Retirement Age (FRA) and suspends benefit payments. The remaining spouse files for benefits and is eligible to receive 50% spousal benefit if the amount is higher than his or her own benefit. At age 70, suspension ends and the first spouse collects their benefits. Increases for delaying benefits are received by the first spouse.
