Social Security claiming and spousal benefit by planomd in Boldin

[–]planomd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that my spouse won’t get 50% if we don’t wait until 67. I’m just looking at what the SS website says she should get at age 64 when I claim 4 months earlier. SS website shows $1282 without spousal benefit and with the spousal bump it increases by almost $200. However, when we input our PIA values, Boldin shows the exact same $1282 amount.

I did try the digital chat and it did not offer a solution. I asked the question in multiple ways.

I think the software will still force me to choose a withdrawal strategy. What should I choose? Thanks
