SOCIAL SECURITY PLANNING AND EDUCATION
|
Social Security provides a foundation of retirement protection for nearly every American. In fact, 97% of Americans aged 60-89 have or will receive Social Security benefits. And 65% of Americans will get more than half their retirement income from Social Security.
Not surprisingly, Social Security is very complex. There are over 2,700 rules associated with it. So it’s only natural that most Americans will seek out advice on how to best maximize and leverage their benefits. Advisors who aren’t prepared to offer advice should be concerned: 57% of clients expect their advisor to provide Social Security guidance. Of those, 93% said they’d leave an advisor who didn’t provide guidance.
Yet, only 33% of advisors are incorporating Social Security into their planning process. But don’t worry: Eschels Financial is here to help! We’ve collected some insightful statistics and the very best resources our carrier partners offer on Social Security and linked to them below. With these tools, you’ll be prepared to help guide your customers’ Social Security decisions and incorporate Social Security into your retirement planning process.
Review the materials at your convenience and call me when you’re ready to talk about incorporating Social Security planning into your practice!
Statistics about Social Security:
- 57% of clients expect their advisor to provide Social Security guidance
- Of those, 93% would leave an advisor who didn’t provide Social Security advice
- For 65% of retirees, Social Security represents more than half of retirement income
- 36% receive 90% or more of their retirement income from Social Security
- For 24%, it is the sole source of retirement income
- Social Benefits are modest: the average monthly benefit in June 2015 was $1,335 per month
- For someone who worked all of his or her adult life and retires at age 65, Social Security will replace about 40 percent of past earnings
- By 2017, this “replacement rate” will slip to about 36%
- More than 56 million Americans currently receive Social Security benefits
- The maximum monthly benefit for workers retiring at full retirement age in 2013 was $2,533

Why choose the Flooring Approach? Retirement Planning should not be uncertain; predictability and guarantees are a real result.

Talk with us about your next case; we can prepare ideas and show you a new solution not considered before or in a long time. Do you have a consultant behind the scenes offering the in depth, as needed, partnership for life insurance and annuities in your practice? You do now! Call us!
The stock market can be an uncomfortable place for some clients.
Consider these three recent bull markets*:
- 1997-2000: Up 100% before declining 86%
- 2003-2008: Up 90% before declining 53%
- 2009-2014: Up 142%… where do you think the market will go from here? Now could be a great time to exercise a “correction protection” strategy for your clients by investing in the Protective Indexed Annuity II.
If you have clients nearing retirement who are concerned about another decline, ,help them exercise “correction protection” by taking their gains out of the market and investing it in the Protective Indexed Annuity II. This solution provides protected growth, opportunities for higher returns, and even offers secure retirement income with SecurePay SE, an optional withdrawal benefit.

Is your client’s non-qualified annuity or qualified annuity where it needs to be?
According to Gallup’s 2009 survey of non-qualified annuity owners:
- 81 percent surveyed intend to use their annuity as a financial resource to avoid being a financial burden on children.
- 73 percent surveyed intent to use their annuity as an emergency fund in the case of a catastrophic illness or for nursing home care.
Make sure your clients’ annuities are aligned with their intentions.
The Pension Protection Act (PPA)allows for income tax-free withdrawals from specially designed non-qualified annuities to fund long-term care expenses, regardless of cost basis. By exchanging a current annuity for an annuity that qualifies for the PPA advantages, your clients can be matched with a vehicle that can meet their needs while providing a tax advantage. Of course, before any annuity exchange is made, all factors should be weighed to verify the client’s best interest.
