General information
| Question text: | Imagine Ms. Helen Johnson, who is 68 and earning $50,000 per year from her full-time job. She has never claimed Social Security benefits but has found out that she will be entitled to a $1,600 monthly retirement benefit if she starts claiming when she turns 70. Which statement is correct? Please give us your best guess if you are not sure. |
| Answer type: | Radio buttons |
| Answer options: | 1 She cannot claim before 70 unless she stops working 2 She can start claiming now, and should start claiming right away since her monthly benefit will not increase by waiting longer 3 She should start claiming at 72 since her benefit at that age will be higher than if she claims earlier 4 She can claim now, but her benefit will be somewhat lower than if she waits until she turns 70. |
