About Retiri
Thinking about retiring? Or perhaps tapering
off work gradually with a part-time job? If
so, there are some facts you should know
about Social Security.
To begin with, you can receive your full
retirement amount at age 65. or a Derma
nently reduced amount as early as age 62.
For example, the reduction is 20% at 62;
13 1/3% at 63. and 6 2/3% at 64.
If you're past 65 when you apply, you'll
get a slight bonus: your monthly check will
be increased by 3% for each year that you
did not get a benefit between 65 and 70.
(The credit is less if you reached 65 before
1982.)
The amount of your monthly check will
depend on your average covered earnings
while you worked. A worker who retires at 65

most years can expect to receive just over
$700 a month. If he or she has eligible
dependents, payments will be substantially
more.
Once benefits start, oavments will in
crease automatically to keep pace with
annual rises in the cost of living of 3% or
more. The benefit increase will be tied to the
increase in either prices or average wages,
depending on the status of the economy.
Your retirement checks may be subject to
Federal income tax if you have substantial
outside income in addition to benefits. In no
case, however, will you have to pay tax on
more than one-half of the benefits.
If your plans are uncertain or if you have
questions, the best thing to do is "Inquire
before you retire.'' Phone, write, or visit your
nearest Social Security office.
