Case study Chapter #6
Case 1
1.- .If Ben continues working until, he reaches age 64, would he be able to claim social security benefits and if so, what percentage of his full benefits would he receive?
Yes , Ben would be eligible to receive Social Security payments , if he so desired . However , for those born in 1960 , the full retirement age is 67 . He could retire as early as age 62 , but by retiring before full retirement age , his benefit amount would be reduced accordingly . If he decides to retire at 64 , Ben 's benefit would be reduced to 80 % of his full retirement amount .
2.- If ben was in an accident and passed away before retiring wand claiming his benefit, would his wife receive any social security benefits? Why or why not?
Yes , Ben 's wife would be entitled to Social Security payments. If his wife is of retirement age or older , she will receive 100 % of the benefit amount . She is eligible to receive benefits starting at age 60 , however the earlier she receives benefits , the more they are discounted.
3.- Ben is enrolled in a defined benefit pension plan with his employer. How does that plan
differ from a defined contribution program
?
An employer - sponsored defined benefit pension plan is a kind of retirement plan in which the company agrees to pay the employee a certain amount of money each month after they retire . A defined contribution program is a kind of retirement plan in which the employee makes monthly contributions to a retirement account in the amount of a predetermined sum .
Case 2 1.
Does Amiela qualify for Medicare now? Why or why not? If not, when will she qualify?
Amelia doesn't qualify for Medicare now. Medicare is generally available for people age 65 or older, younger people with disabilities and people with End Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplant). Medicare has two parts, Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medicare Insurance). She will be able to access Medicare benefits in two
years time when she turns 65 yrs of age and if her doctor properly indicates that the surgery is medically necessary.
2.- Based on Amiela circumstances, which version of Medicare do you think would be the best option for her any why?
For Amelia, Original Medicare is the best version. Original Medicare, which is Medicare parts A and B, will cover the cost of knee replacement surgery — including parts of your recovery process — if your doctor correctly indicates that the surgery is medically necessary.
3. What program, if any, are available to help Ameila pay for her Medicare plan when she enrolls if her income is too low for her to afford it?
If Amelia's income is too low to afford Medicare, she may be eligible for the Medicare Savings Program (MSP) or Extra Help program. These programs can help pay for Medicare premiums, deductibles, and copayments. She can apply for these programs through her state's Medicaid office or the Social Security Administration.
