Although you can start collecting Social Security at age 62, you can get much higher monthly payments if you wait as long as age 70. But many people want to or must retire before 70. If you're one of them, consider a possible strategy, backed by recent research, to use your retirement savings to put off receiving Social Security.
Build a Social Security Bridge
New research from the Center for Retirement Research explores retiree appetite for a "bridge" between retirement and collecting Social Security benefits, specifically one where retirees tap 401(k) assets in an amount equivalent to what they'd draw from Social Security on a monthly basis. This stream of payments would continue until age 70 or until the money ran out.
Such an option appealed to a good number of survey respondents; nearly 27% said they'd use it to some extent, even with minimal information about plan details. Among respondents provided with more information on the option, the total climbed to 35%. Researchers also propose a formalized "bridge" plan that employers could offer using 401(k) funds.
