As you all know, our office specializes in Public Benefits law, primarily long-term care Medicaid. The general public and many commentators have serious misconceptions about Medicaid planning. Many think it simply a matter of spending down money or paying nursing homes or buying prepaid funeral contracts or even just purchasing certain types of annuities.
When someone retires at “full retirement age” and applies for their retirement benefit, they are entitled to a monthly Social Security benefit called a “primary insurance amount”. For persons born from 1943 to 1954, their “full retirement age” is 66. But if that person waits to claim their retirement benefit until age 70, they get a higher benefit that goes up in increments beyond the “primary insurance amount” up to age 70.
