What Are Filing and Suspending and Filing a Restricted Application?
What is the difference between a restricted filing and file and suspend. What is a restricted filing? Thanks, John
John, restricting your application simply means filing for just one benefit when eligible for more than one, which is not the same as filing for your retirement benefit and then suspending it in order to earn delayed retirement credits of 8% per year applied monthly. Thanks, John
