Social Security Benefits in Wisconsin
Social Security plays a vital role in retirement income. Factors to consider:
Eligibility: You can begin claiming benefits as early as age 62, but waiting until full retirement age (66–67, depending on birth year) can increase your monthly payments.
Maximizing Benefits: Delaying benefits until age 70 provides the maximum monthly payout.
Wisconsin's Cost of Living: With a cost of living slightly below the national average, Social Security can stretch further.
