Grand Rapids, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/06/2013 -- Financial advisor Dennis Tubbergen can usually be found helping his own clients. When he has a few free minutes he is busy writing his daily blog, his monthly newsletter Moving Markets or interviewing his next guest expert for his weekly radio show.

Tubbergen's next guest is Gary Shilling. Shilling is an American financial analyst and commentator who frequently appears in publications such as Forbes Magazine, The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. He is president of A. Gary Shilling & Co., Inc. and editor of A. Gary Shilling's Insight.

Tubbergen, who is an author, radio show host, and CEO of PLP Advisors, LLC, spends a lot of time giving his opinions on the economy in his online financial blog. On September 5, 2013 his blog was titled Part Four: Social Security Question and Answer.

"Today, I continue to discuss Social Security collection rules and strategies," began Tubbergen. "Once you begin to collect Social Security benefits, you can suspend those benefits as long as you have reached your normal retirement age. You can then reinstate those benefits at a later date and receive delayed retirement credits for each month that your benefits are suspended. Delayed retirement credits are only credited through age 70 so there is no reason to suspend benefits beyond age 70."

So how might a married couple use this file-and-0suspend strategy?

Tubbergen gives his readers a hypothetical example of a married couple in order to help show them exactly how such benefits can apply. The example helps dispel some of the incorrect assumptions the average couple can make in real life.

"One of the biggest assumptions made in determining when to collect Social Security benefits is anticipated life expectancy, something none of us knows," notes Tubbergen.

Sound interesting?
