Don’t fall prey to these Social Security myths

When it comes to Social Security, misinformation runs rampant. USAToday tackles 3 common Social Security myths:

1. My monthly retirement benefits will mimic my former monthly earnings
2. If I file early and reduce my benefits, they’ll be bumped up once I reach full retirement age
3. I can cancel my benefits and file again later

No matter where you are in your retirement planning, it pays to educate yourself (and your loved ones) on the Social Security system.
