Does Your Software Account for Public Pensions?

Hi, I am currently reading "Get What's Yours" and am considering signing up for the Households subscription on this website. Prior to that, I want to ensure this can assist me since my wife is a retired school teacher collecting those retirement benefits and won't be collecting Social Security. Will this help me figure out the best course of action for our situation and to when I should collect? I am currently still working and will be 64 in a few weeks. Thanks, Mike



Mike, our software fully accounts for both the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). Our software will determine what effects these provisions will have and determine your maximized household strategy. Thanks, John
