Retirees in These 13 States Risk Losing Some of Their Social Security Checks
Some people have the goal of amassing enough savings that Social Security is a non-issue for them -- meaning, they don't really care what benefit they end up getting paid during retirement. But for many seniors, Social Security serves as a lifeline, so it's important to do what you can to eke out the highest benefit possible.
Now there are different steps you can take to raise your benefits. For one thing, you can delay your Social Security filing until age 70. Holding off that long will result in much higher benefits, and the boost you snag is yours to enjoy for life.
But another step you can take to snag higher benefits is to avoid settling down in a state that taxes them. Although most states don't tax Social Security income, 13 of them do, and knowing what that list looks like could help you hang on to more of your money.
