US: Why Late Retirees Will Soon Get Smaller Social Security Bonuses

Submitted by dfabbri on

finance.yahoo (20.01.2019) One common piece of advice on Social Security is that if you want to get larger monthly payments, it pays to wait. Many older Americans take Social Security at their earliest opportunity when they turn 62, and that results in a big pay cut compared to what they'd get if they waited until full retirement age.

[Report] OECD: Social Protection System Review: A Toolkit

Submitted by dfabbri on

OECD (2018) The positive impacts of social protection on reducing poverty and inequality and contributing to development are well evidenced. Establishing an integrated system facilitates the provision of a social protection floor, whereby individuals are appropriately protected throughout the life cycle. This is achieved not only by making sure there is a sufficient range of programmes to cover a population’s risk profile but also by sharing information on different individuals to ensure they are linked to an appropriate programme.
