Social Security is one of the most valuable retirement benefits most Americans will ever receive, yet it's also one of the most misunderstood. Small misconceptions about how the system works can lead to claiming mistakes that may reduce your lifetime retirement income.

In this video, Hunter Brockway with Boca Retirement Strategies explains seven of the most common Social Security myths and separates fact from fiction. From spousal benefits and inflation adjustments to tax rules and claiming strategies, you'll learn how understanding these rules may help you make more informed retirement decisions.

Many retirees are surprised to learn that Social Security benefits can depend on far more than simply reaching retirement age. Your work history, marital history, claiming age, and earnings all play an important role in determining how much you receive over your lifetime.

In this video, Hunter discusses: • How divorced spouses may qualify for benefits • Why Social Security provides guaranteed lifetime income • How your highest 35 years of earnings affect your benefit • Why high-income earners stop paying Social Security tax above the annual wage base • How Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs) help offset inflation • Which income is actually subject to Social Security payroll taxes • How some retirees can reverse a claiming decision within the first 12 months

Social Security is more than just a monthly check. It often serves as the foundation of a retirement income plan, and understanding how the system works can have a meaningful impact on your long-term financial security.
