The “right” answer to this common query remains as elusive as ever. It depends on a wide array of personal variables, how Congress acts, and how the unknowable future plays out. No wonder many families find themselves in a quandary when it comes to taking their Social Security benefits. Let’s take a closer look at how to find the right balance for you.

Under the Biden Administration's social security plan, the 12.4% Social Security tax would be collected on earnings up to the regular wage base ($142,800 in 2021) as well as on earnings over $400,000. These additional revenues would be used to expand benefits for specific groups of people. Find out how this might apply to you.
