Dear Rusty: I turned 63 August 12, 2019. I will be retiring June 30, 2020 from my current job. I will have made approxi- mately $ 35,000 by then and am receiving severance pay of $19,000 on June 30. Will the pay I re- ceive through June 30 affect what I can draw from Social Security? Also, how much of a differ- ence would it be if I wait until August 12, 2020 to officially start drawing Social Securi- ty? Is there any other infor- mation I should be aware of before I start drawing Social Security? Signed: Anxious to Retire. Dear Anxious: First, let me assure you that the money you earned this year before your benefits start aren't counted as part of Social Security's "earnings test" which could affect your payment after your bene- fits start. When you claim, your Social Security bene- fit amount will depend upon two things – your "prima- ry insurance amount" (or "PIA") which is determined from your highest earning 35 years (adjusted for infla- tion) over your lifetime, and the age at which you claim your SS bene- fit. By claiming at age 64 in Au- gust, your bene- fit will be cut by about 15.6 per- cent from what it would be if you wait to claim at your full retire- ment age (66 plus 4 months). Your earnings for 2020 won't be applied to your SS record until after you file your 2020 taxes in 2021, so won't affect your benefits (if appropriate) until after that. If your 2020 earnings are more than any of those in the 35 years used to ini- tially compute your benefit, your benefit will increase at that time. The day of the month you were born isn't significant, only the month. So, if you apply to start ben- efits in August of 2020, your benefit cut will be as stated above because you're claim- ing exactly two years and four months early. But if you wait longer you'll gain another 5/9ths of 1 percent (.556 %) for each addition- al month you delay up un- til your full retirement age (FR A). Although you plan to re- tire from work, be aware that if you decide to return you'll be subject to Social Security's earnings lim- it once you are collecting benefits before your FR A, and that will be the case un- til you reach your full retire- ment age. If you go back to work after you start your SS and earn more than $1,520 in any remaining month of 2020, you'll not be entitled to benefits for that month. Starting in 2021, you'll be subject to an annual earn- ings limit of at least $18,240 (that's the 2020 limit – lim- its for future years aren't yet known but will be higher). Exceeding the annual lim- it will cause SS to withhold half of anything you earn over the limit. The limit is more, and the penalty is less in the year you reach your FR A and goes away once you have reached your full retirement age. Finally, to be sure you're aware, you can actually de- fer claiming SS until age 70 if you wish. A fter you reach your full retirement age you'll earn delayed re- tirement credits (DRCs) of 8 percent per year of delay, which are added to your ben- efit when you finally claim it. That would give you a bene- fit which is 29 percent more at age 70 than it would be at your full retirement age.

Mitsa Greene, MSN, CRNA News from University of Evansville In response to the Corona- virus (COVID-19), the Uni- versity of Evansville has ex- tended its May 1 enrollment deposit deadline for new stu- dents to June 1. Additionally, deposits made between now and the June 1 deadline will be fully refundable. "We understand that fam- ilies are dealing with a great deal of uncertainty at the mo- ment," says Kenton Hargis, Director of Admissions. "We want to ensure they have the time and flexibility they need to make the best college choice under these very dif- ficult circumstances." The university is also of- fering virtual tours and oth- er ways for prospective stu- dents to engage virtually with current students, facul- ty and the admissions staff to better inform their decision during this time when they cannot visit campus. University of Evansville reschedules Spring Commencement A fter much discussion and input from students, faculty and staff, the University of Evansville is rescheduling its Spring Commencement ceremony to take place dur- ing Homecoming weekend on the morning of Septem- ber 19 at the Ford Center. "This semester has tak- en an unanticipated turn for all of us, and the Universi- ty of Evansville recognizes the importance of celebrat- ing the educational achieve- ments of our Class of 2020," said UE president Christo- pher M. Pietruszkiewicz. "Each one of our students has had a life-changing ex- perience at UE - whether studying at home or abroad, through hours of classroom and out-of-classroom expe- riences, our students have made lifelong connections. We want to celebrate those moments, in person, at a re- scheduled Commencement ceremony." This does not af- fect the timing or award of UE degrees. More details for graduates and graduation at- tendees will be determined in the upcoming months. For more information, con- tact: uerelations@evansville. edu.
