Retirement Benefits
Retirement benefits are intended to support a person once they have left the workforce. In the United States, Social Security is the government program that provides support to retired people. Over the course of your employment, you made regular payments from your paycheck to the government. These payments went towards Social Security taxes, which are then issued back to you on a monthly basis after you retire or stop working due to a qualified disability.
Retirement benefits are determined by the amount of money a person earns over the course of their working life, so higher lifetime earnings equate to higher benefits. When you are working and paying your Social Security taxes, you earn credits towards the benefits you will take one day. The amount of money you can expect to receive when you retire is based on your age and your total earnings. The earliest age at which a person may begin withdrawing benefits is 62, but you will receive more money the longer you wait to retire. In some cases, your spouse or children could be eligible to receive some of your retirement benefits.
There are many laws and regulations that stipulate how retirement benefits through Social Security work. They can be complex and confusing if you don't have experience in this area. An experienced attorney can help you understand your retirement options, as well as which Social Security benefits you are entitled to receive. An attorney can also help you if you have been denied benefits and need to appeal the decision.
