'Bridges' to Maximize Social Security Benefits Should Be Built Into 401(k)s, Researchers Say
Barron's Link to more items from this source
Jan. 18, 2021

"Retirement researchers recently have been touting the benefits of a so-called bridge strategy, whereby retirees front-load withdrawals from 401(k) plans and individual retirement accounts to delay claiming Social Security. For each year that a person delays claiming up to age 70, his monthly Social Security check goes up 7% to 8%.... This new idea ... calls on 401(k) plan sponsors to introduce a default 'bridge fund' into 401(k) plans that would use fund assets to deliver automatic monthly payments to anyone who retires in their 60s at a level equivalent to the monthly Social Security benefits that seniors would receive at full retirement age."
