MEDICINE DROP HUGE SUCCESS - Kings Mountain Police Department Det. Sgt. Lisa Proctor said that the KMPD Medicine Drop recently was a huge success with collection of 91,708 units, the largest ever, and held at the H.

Free Mobile Application Keeps Residents Informed If you have an iPhone or Android device you can now access ReadyNC, a free mobile application that provides Cleveland County residents, first responders, and all North Carolina citizens with real-time data about road conditions, flood levels, power outages, evacuation routes, and the closest shelters. To download this free mobile app, go to iTunes or the Google Play store and search for ReadyNC. Here are just a few of the features included on the mobile app: • Real-time traffic and weather information • Critical information on how to be safe during different hazardous events • Real-time information about opened shelters for evacuees (including addresses, capacity, directions and if the shelter is pet-friendly)
HOWARD SWOFFORD ...AT 90
• Real-time updates on flood levels of major nearby creeks and rivers • Telephone numbers and links to all North Carolina power companies to report outages • Basic instructions on how to develop emergency plans and what to put in your emergency supplies kit • Real-time information on which counties have issued evacuation orders • Contact numbers and links to websites for those who need help recovering from a disaster • Direct links to the ReadyNC.org and NCDPS.gov websites and social media accounts It is important to note that using this application does not replace calling 911 in the case of an emergency nor is it designed to be an emergency
alert. The app is also not intended to report emergencies to local officials, but it can be used to find life-saving information. North Carolina sheriffs encourage residents in Cleveland County and all across our state to check out the website at www.readync.org or the mobile app and read more about how to create a preparedness plan and kit-and how to prepare for different types of emergencies.

He had borrowed a Ditch Witch trencher but drought had been so bad that summer that even the Ditch Witch could barely scratch out a trench. We were having to use hand tools to cut roots and try to get the trench deep enough. Finally at lunch I had to tell Dad I couldn't do any more. I was washing up in the utility room when I heard Mom in the kitchen tell Dad, ‘Howard, he works at a desk all day long.’ I knew exactly what the conversation was about. There is no question that my Dad knows what work means.” Memories of the way they were and the way they are now was a happy birthday present for Howard Swofford.

and as a salesman at Sterchi Furniture. Corrine worked at Roses Stores as a clerk and bookkeeper and in later years operated a furniture upholstery business from their home, assisted by her husband. In recent years Corrine went back to work, subbing in the lunchrooms in Kings Mountain schools, because she enjoys being out and active. The Swofford children say their parents stay active taking care of the home place and cite their faithfulness to El Bethel United Methodist Church where Mom is always helping out with the Saturday breakfast, baking pies and bread for the fundraiser, and both parents sang in the choir for many years. While Howard may enjoy his recliner, he doesn’t stay there. Last summer, amid 100 degree heat, Howard built himself a new workbench in one of the barns and moved his shop tools. He still climbs on his tractor to bush hog around the farm and enjoys

Howard Swofford, 90 on April 4, never leaves a flea market without buying a hammer. So, his family decorated tables at his birthday party with “bouquets” of old hammers, old wrenches, and old screwdrivers, as well as photographs from his youth and life. The Kings Mountain farmer gets lots of ribbing from his family about his hammers but he takes it in stride. “Just look at these photographs,'' he laughed, “I was once good looking and had hair.” Nearly 40 members of the family visited and celebrated with Howard at Mountain View Restaurant in Kings Mountain, coming from as near as Hickory and as far away as Florida and Washington. The youngest member present was his three-weeks-old great granddaughter, Finley Swofford. Born in Hollis, NC in the northeast corner of Rutherford County, Howard grew up on a homestead in Minnesota after his family moved there in the summer of 1929. His dad drove a Ford Model T truck, hauling two adults, eight children and their possessions and camping along the road. Turning 18 in 1944, Howard enlisted in the United States Navy and trained as a weatherman, serving in Honolulu, Hawaii and on an aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Shangri-La. After mustering out at war’s end, he returned to farming in Minnesota for a short period of time, but when his parents chose to return to North Carolina in 1947, Howard came with them, along with his youngest brother, Roy. They settled on a farm in Kings Mountain near relatives. It was at El Bethel United Methodist Church that Howard met the love of his life, Corrine Reynolds, and they married in 1950, now celebrating 66 years of marriage. They are parents of five children Wayne Swofford of Newton, now retired from R&D and R&D management; Michael Swofford, Carthage, NC, United Methodist minister; Diana Swofford Blanton, Middleburg, FL, housewife; Cindy Swofford Jones, Walla Walla, WA, metallurgist and superintendent for chemical extraction for a gold mine in northern Washington; and Robert Swofford of Durham, programmer for IBM. Nine grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren are the pride of the family. Except for a couple of years in the mid ‘50’s, when the Swoffords lived in Columbus Ohio and Howard worked for North American Corporation, Kings Mountain has been home. Howard retired after more than 20 years at J.E. Herndon Company where he was a truck driver and warehouseman. Prior to that he worked in textiles

■ MEDITATION God is Able
“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.” (Jude 24, KJV) These are encouragRON CAULDER ing words for believers Pastor in every generation. We Eastside Baptist certainly need them in Church our time. These 25 words give us assurance that our God is still able to keep us from falling and to remain faithful to Him Take a look at these 25 words and explore with me the truths we read here in God’s Word. 1. First, there is the word “now.” This word suggests a sense of urgency---Something which must take place immediately. The word “now” is found many times in the Bible. Here are a few examples: Eccelesiastes 12:1 reads, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of they youth.” I John 3:2: “Beloved, now are we the sons
of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for shall see him as he is.” Psalms 119:67 “Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.” John 13:7 “Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.” One more: John 16:12 “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.” The word now conveys a sense of urgency. But what is the urgency all about? II. Look at the phrase “Unto Him.” Jude is talking about Jesus. The One that existed before a when or a where. The One who is supreme—the Creator of all things. The One who is the incarnate Son of God, born of the virgin Mary. The One who taught like a scholar at age 12. The One that walked this earth some 33 years and was crucified on the Cross for us and who was resurrected on the third day! But who is Jesus? One person described Jesus in the following ways:
He’s my bread when I’m hungry. He’s my water when I’m thirsty. He’s my friend when I feel friendless. He’s my lawyer when I’m in trouble. He’s my bridge over troubled waters. He’s my physician when I am sick. He’s my Redeemer, when I was lost. III. “Now unto Him,” Jude writes. His next phrase is “That is.” Hebrews 13:8 tells us that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His character and purpose remains the same. While Jesus walked on earth He displayed the love and care of God through many miracles such as feeding 5,000 with two fish and five loaves of bread. He healed people with deadly diseases such as leprosy. He had the power to calm a storm by saying, “peace be still.” He opened the eyes of the blind and unstopped deaf ears. These are some of the things He did here on earth. But He still has all power. Jude writes, “Unto Him who is able.” What Jesus did while on earth, He still has the power to do today. Jesus has the power to still perform miracles in our world in our lives.
He is still able to be the Great Physician. He is still able to calm the storms in our lives He is still able to open closed eyes, closed minds, and closed hearts. Whatever your need--He is able to meet! IV. Fourthly, according to our text from Jude, He is able to do four things. He is able to protect us. He is able to preserve us. He is able to make us pure. He is able to make us perfect. …He is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory. Notice the conclusion to v. 24 … “with exceeding joy.” The Greek word here can also be translated as “exaltation.” Not only can we praise Him for what He has done but what He also continues to do every day of our lives and what He promises for the future. I pray that you will be encouraged and strengthened today as you remember that God is with you and He has the power to keep you from falling when you stand in His presence.

Movement is what Yoga is all about their toes. They also secure themselves with a belt and raise each foot as high as possible from the sitting position. Working from the neck down is a big part of the instruction. The benefits of yoga for seniors are much the same as those for the general population: increased muscle tone, balance strength and improved mood. Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who can't stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the student. While seated on chairs, they do versions of twists, hip stretches, forward bends, and mild back bends. In addition to a good stretch, chair yoga participants can enjoy other health benefits of yoga, including improved muscle tone, better breathing habits, reduction of stress, better sleep and a sense of

past two years that staffing formulas resulted in more than 70 positions being eliminated and those positions have been cut without further reducing formulas which would result in higher student ratios. “Not everyone will be pleased with this budget,'' he said. He added, “if the criteria used to develop this budget plays out over the coming weeks based on actions the General As-
sembly may or may not take, we can sustain these initiatives within projected county funding. The other side of this, however, is that this will be the last year we can utilize fund balance to balance our budget. New funding streams will be necessary beginning with the 2017-18 school year, whether that funding stream is state, local or federal. For those who would be critical of this budget, I remind them of the words of Henry Ford, “Don't find fault, find a remedy.”

and Tuesdays. The range, which is located at 283 Fielding Road, Cherryville, ( just off Cherryville Road near the Cleveland County Waste Management facility, has a 250-yard rifle range, five 50-yard pistol ranges, two skeet/trap courses and a 3D archery course. The facility will be available to the general public, shooting sports teams and law enforcement for practice, training and recreational use. A daily pass for the range will cost $10. The Wildlife Commission and Cleveland County shared the cost of the nearly $3 million project, with the Commission using money from the Wildlife Endowment Fund, as well as a $25,000 grant from the National Rifle Association through its Public Range Fund, which was established in 2009 to provide funding for the construction of public ranges across the country. “North Carolina's outdoor heritage is important to our quality of life and economic vitality,'' said Erik Christofferson, the Commission's chief of operations. “Partnerships like
these help to insure that people across the state have safe and available facilities that support our hunting and shooting sports traditions.” Cleveland County provided the property for the shooting range. The county refurbished an existing house located on the property and constructed another building for restrooms and concessions. The county will handle routine maintenance of the site and will be responsible for the day-to-day operational oversight of the facility. “Cleveland County believes that more can be accomplished through partnerships,'' said Johnny Hutchins, County Commissioner and Chairman of the Foothills Shooting Complex Advisory Board. “This is evident by the great working relationship that has been developed between the county and the Wildlife Commission throughout the construction phase of the project. Together we created a shooting complex that will provide a safe environment for gun owners to practice, as well as a place where youth and inexperienced adults can learn about the sport of shooting.”

Friends, competitors Hollifield, Honeycutt to be inducted into KM Sports Hall of Fame (Third in a series of stories on the 2016 inductees to the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame. The banquet is Saturday, May 7 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Tickets are $15 and are available from members of the Hall of Fame committee and at the door).
Daniel Honeycutt during his football days at Kings Mountain High School.
From the time they first met while playing youth sports in Kings Mountain, Daniel Honeycutt and Ryan Hollfield were best of friends and the other’s fiercest competitor. Both were multi-sports athletes who excelled in everything they did – on the youth, high school and college level.
They were multi-sport All-Conference players in high school during an era when Kings Mountain High had some of its greatest achievements in athletics. And, as it should be, both will be inducted into their hometown Hall of Fame at the 28th annual ceremony May 7 at Central United Methodist Church. Honeycutt will be inducted posthumously. He was found dead in bed on a morning in 2010 after shooting a one-under par round of golf the previous afternoon. Whether it was golf, softball, baseball, swimming and diving, football, basketball or any other sport that was going on at the time, See HALL OF FAME, Page 2B
Mounties repeat as county golf champs Kings Mountain High’s golf team cruised to victory over Crest, Shelby and Burns in the annual Cleveland County Tournament Wednesday at Kings Mountain Country Club. The Mountaineers, who shot a team score of 304, finished 38 strokes ahead of second place Crest with 342. Shelby was third at 365, followed by Burns at 392. Kings Mountain sophomore Alex Goff was medalist with a three-under par 69. He shot 3-under 33 on the front side, and even par 36 on the back. The Mountaineers had the lowest two scores of the day, with junior Carson Bailey shooting a 2-over-par 74. Hunter Ward shot 80, Ty Withers 81 and Dawson Adams 83. Jake Scruggs led Crest with a 75. Shelby’s best score came from Jay Wilson with 82, and Junye Ou led Burns with a 92. The Mountaineers will now gear up for what they hope will be a second straight South Mountain Athletic Conference championship. The 36-hole event begins with an 18hole match April 11 at Deer Brook in Shelby and concludes April 18 at Quaker Meadows near Morganton. Kings Mountain is also See GOLF, Page 3B

KM kickers remain unbeaten in SMAC Kings Mountain High’s women’s soccer team dropped a non-conference decision to Gastonia Forestview last week but remained undefeated in the South Mountain Athletic Conference with shutout wins over East Burke and East Rutherford. The Lady Mountaineers blanked East Rutherford 6-0 Friday night in Forest City to run their record to 9-0 in the SMAC and 10-2-1 overall. Lindsey Deaver had a great week with eight goals,
including four each against East Burke and East Rutherford. Virginia Dellinger and Makayla Smith each scored a goal at East Rutherford, and Dellinger also contributed three assists. Sarah Drennan and Cassidy Calhoun had one assist each. Baylee Marr and Ashley Rhom were in goal. Deaver’s four goals at East Burke led the KM ladies to a 10-0 victory. Dellinger also had a great night with a hat trick and three
assists. Mackenzie Ramsey had a goal and one assist, Sarah Dennan had a goal and two assists, and Cassidy Calhoun had a goal and three assists. Ashley Rhom was in goal. Forestview played its best game of the season Wednesday night to defeat the Lady Mountaineers 5-2 in Gastonia. Cassidy Calhoun and Virginia Dellinger scored the KM goals, and Mackenzie Ramsey had one assist.
Kings Mountain High’s baseball team won three big games last week to improve to 6-3 in the SMAC and 10-4 overall heading into a home game last night against county rival Burns. The Mountaineers defeated East Burke on the road last Tuesday night 5-2, and beat East Rutherford 15-3 Friday night in Forest City to get into the thick of the battle for the regular season SMAC championship. In between those two conference games, the Mountaineers edged Gaston County power South Point 3-2 in 10 innings Wednesday night in Belmont. Good pitching and hitting were the keys for the Mountaineers. Senior right hander Matt Absher threw a complete game four-hitter at East Burke. He struck out nine and both runs off him were unearned. John Bell led a nine-hit KM plate attack with four hits. Will Wilson had two hits and Palmer Davis had a RBI double. Bryson Bailey scattered six hits in five innings to get the win at East Rutherford. Alex Seaward came on and pitched the sixth in a mercy rule victory for the Mountaineers. Kings Mountain collected 14 hits. Will Wilson supplied a two-run triple

Patriot baseball splits with Crest, Lincolnton Kings Mountain Middle’s baseball team split its two Tri-County games last week, falling to Crest 5-3 and defeating Lincolnton 19-6. Crest broke a scoreless tie with a run in the third inning, then broke the game open with three in the fourth. Bryce Fisher pitched the first five innings, walking just two and fanning 11. Zach Crawford pitched the final two innings, giving up one unearned run and fanning two. Kings Mountain committed four errors, with three of them coming in the third when the Dragons scored three unearned runs. Boone Cartee led the KM hitting with a triple and two RBI. The only others with hits off Crest pitcher Riley Cash were Fisher and Crawford. Thursday, the Patriots scored seven runs in the first inning and rolled over Lincolnton to improve to 4-2 in the conference. Boone Cartee and Clint Turner handled the pitching duties. Jaxson Bolin and Silas Price led the hitting, both going 3-for-3. Bolin hit an inside-the-park home run. Parker Fleming and Nathan Phillips added two hits
Silas Price ripped three hits for KM Middle in last week’s win over Lincolnton. Kings Mountain hosts East Rutherford Thursday at 4 p.m. each and Cartee, AJ Wylie and Turner added a hit apiece. Kings Mountain was scheduled to go to Chase
yesterday and will return home Thursday against East Rutherford.
KMMS track teams post lop-sided wins Kings Mountain Middle School’s track teams rolled over East Rutherford and Chase in a three-way meet Wednesday at John Gamble Stadium. The girls scored 107.5 points to far outdistance East with 19.5 and Chase with 15. The boys were just as awesome, scoring 108 points to 35 for East and only six for Chase. Maggie Lloyd and Macie Simms were double winners for the Lady Patriots. Lloyd won the 3200 meter run in 14:40 and the 1600 meter run in 6:52. Simms won the
high jump (4’2”) and the triple jump (27’9”). Other KM ladies finishing first were Kendra Thompson in the shot (31’8)), Shy Portee in the disc (53’2”), Bea Haynes in the long jump (14’), Brooke Clark in the hurdles (9:78), Dea Haynes in the 100 meter dash (13:46), Brooke Clark in the 400 meters (1:14), Hannah Crouse in the 800 meters (3:22), and Zahra Roberts in the 200 meters (29:51). All three KM relay teams finished first. Kings Mountain’s boys won 12 events, led by victo-
ries by Jalen Roberts in the 1600 meters (5:47) and the 800 meters (2:34.93). Others finishing first were Jake Stacey in the 3200 meters (13:12), Damon Randle in the high jump (5’0”), Robert Lipscomb in the shot (38’), Nick Burrows in the disc (101’6”), Belton Pressley in the long jump (16’6”), Titus Clark in the triple jump (32’4”), and Albert Hope in the hurdles (15.69). All three relay teams also finished first. Kings Mountain will be at home again this afternoon at 4 p.m.
JV Mountaineers whip Raiders 4-2 Kings Mountain High’s JV baseball team defeated South Point 4-2 in a non-conference game Wednesday at KM’s Lancaster Field. Josh Ledford had two hits and two RBI to lead the
KM plate attack. He singled in a run in the first inning and had a RBI triple in the fifth. Alec Bell picked up the complete game mound victory. He allowed just five hits, walked one and struck
out three. Thomas Harrison joined Ledford with two hits. Daniel Bagwell, Landry Crawford, Joe Ruffalo and Alec Bell had one apiece.
Honeycutt could do them all well. Hollifield, now a physician’s assistant at Ortho Carolinas in Shelby, recalled the first time they met. They played pee wee baseball at Deal Street Park (now the YMCA) at the age of five. “We didn’t go to the same school, so we didn’t know each other before then,” Hollifield noted. “But we became good friends.” They went on to become teammates in Pop Warner football, Recreation Department basketball, and were the quarterback-receiver combination at Kings Mountain Junior High and KMHS. “Daniel was a super athlete,” Hollifield noted. “He could do anything. His first love was probably golf. He was as good as anybody when he was seven, eight and nine years old, but he wanted to play team sports. He could swim, dive - he could do anything. He was the ultra competitive athlete.” Both made numerous all-conference teams at KMHS. Honeycutt played baseball, basketball and football, was an All-Conference football star at both wide receiver and defensive back his senior year of 1989, the leading scorer and All-Conference star on the 1989-90 basketball team that won the state championship; and an outfielder and .345 hitter on the 1989 KMHS baseball team that won the 1989 state championship. Hollifield was a fourevent All-Conference, team MVP and Southwestern Conference Player of the Year in track; and was the basketball team’s leading scorer his junior year. Both Hollifield and Honeycutt were All-Western Regional in basketball their senior year, and Hollifield, who had battled a knee injury for most of his senior football season, received the Western NC Sixth Man Award in basketball. Both were among the stars in the Mountaineers’ unforgettable 37-36 five overtime victory over Smoky Mountain in the first round of the ’89 state football playoffs. At the time, that was the longest prep football game ever played in North Carolina. Facing elimination with a fourth and goal at the ten yard line, Hollifield found Darius “NuNu” Ross in the back of the end zone for the tying touchdown, and Honeycutt came on to kick the winning extra point. Earlier in the OT, Honeycutt kicked a field goal to keep the upset bid alive. Hollifield wouldn’t have even been in the game had it not been for his determination to come back early from a torn ACL that should have cost him his entire senior year. He suffered the injury in the third game of the season. “It was devastating,” Hollifield said. “I thought it might end my career. But I was determined to work hard and get healthy and got back the sixth week of the regular season and won my starting position back.” During the big win at Smoky Mountain, Hollifield broke Pat Murphy’s long-standing career passing record. It has since been broken by several other quarterbacks, including some that Hollifield groomed while serving as the Mountaineers’ quarterback coach under Ron Massey in 1995-99. Kings Mountain came home the next week to defeat Burns in the second round, and then lost to Shelby in the third round. Always determined to be their best, Hollifield and Honeycutt showed up at the KMHS gym the next morning after the Shelby loss and participated in a basketball scrimmage against Independence. With Honeycutt leading the Mountaineers in scoring with 17.1 points per game
and Hollifield playing the sixth man role until eventually winning his starting position back, the Mountaineers defeated the state’s topranked Concord team for the Western NC Championship in Hickory before losing a tough battle to D.H. Conley in the state championship game in the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill. After that great season, Hollifield joined the track team and won the conference championship in the mile, 800 meters, 1600 meters and 3200 meter relays. He was the KMHS male athlete of the year his junior year, and is believed to be the only person to ever win that award as a junior. Honeycutt went on to play basketball at Limestone College and Hollifield played four years of football and one year of basketball at Appalachain State. He was a quarterback/receiver (“actually, it was more like a blocking tight end,” he said), and after the football season joined the basketball team as a reserve. He said his injury in high school was one of the things that encouraged him to become a PA so he could help other young athletes overcome injuries. He has also continued to help athletes through coaching. When his older brother, Aubrey, became head basketball coach at Shelby High Ryan joined his staff and the brothers have led the Lions to numerous conference, and one state championships. He said going into the Hall of Fame is a great honor, because he has seen or knows of all the others who have gone before him, including his brother Aubrey and father, Dale. “The Hall of Fame is a great accomplishment for a small town,” he said. “I am sure there are a lot of a factors that go into consideration. A lot of people go in for a great career. My senior class was known for a lot of three-sport participants. I’d say we probably had as many as 30 three-sport athletes that played major sports. It’s a great honor just to be considered. Our senior class won the State Wachovia Cup
in 1990. We dominated the Southwestern Conference. We won 13 of the 16 conference championships our senior year. The only ones we didn’t win were football and girls basketball. We dominated the team sports.” It is even a greater honor for Hollifield to go in with his longtime friend and the most competitive athlete he’s known, Daniel Honeycutt. Their competition was not limited just to the practice and playing field. “We had a lot of classes together in high school,” Hollifield said. “I remember when we had a Presidential Fitness test in high school. Coach (Denny) Hicks would call my name and I’d do 18 or 19 pull-ups. Daniel followed me in alphabetical order, so he would be the next one up. If I did 18 there was no question that he was going to do 19. He wanted to be the best. That’s how competitive he was. “We continued to play sports after we got out of college, and we remained friends. We were friends from the age of five until he died at age 38. “Daniel would travel to places like Asheville and Charlotte to play in flag football tournaments and pickup basketball,” Hollifield said. “He played weekend travel softball for eight to 10 years after he graduated, and he was very good at it. “After college he also went back to playing golf. He was a member at Kings Mountain Country Club and later at Catawba Country Club and played there until he passed away. The day before he died he shot a one-under par at Catawba. That’s the kind of competitor he was.” Honeycutt’s wife, Susan, and their daughter, Maggie Sue, 11, now live in Kings Mountain. They lived in Newton at the time of Daniel’s death. “After Daniel died we talked Susan into moving here,” Hollifield noted. “We’re trying to keep our families close. We go on vacations together and are still really close.”

When Does it Pay to Take Social Security Early? Dear Savvy Senior, I will turn 62 in a few months and am trying to decide when to start taking my Social Security retirement benefits. Almost everything I read on this topic tells me it’s better to wait until my full retirement age or beyond. Is there ever a good reason to start early? Ready to Retire Dear Ready, You’re right! Most financial planners agree that waiting to take your Social Security retirement benefits is a smart financial move. Why? Because each month you defer, from your 62nd birthday to your 70th, your monthly benefits grow. That adds up to around 6 to 8 percent higher payments for every year you delay. Yet despite the financial incentive to wait, most people (58 percent of men and 64 percent of women) claim their benefits before full retirement age, which is currently 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954. But speeding up the clock isn’t always a bad idea. Here are some scenarios where it may make sense for you to
collect early. You need the money: If you’re retired and don’t have enough savings or a pension to cover your living expenses, you’ll probably have to start early. But, if you decide to work, be aware of the earnings test. If you claim Social Security benefits before full retirement age (and you don’t reach 66 this year), you’ll forfeit $1 for every $2 you earn over the earnings limit of $15,720 in 2016. It usually doesn’t make sense to take benefits early if you’re working, unless your income is below the earnings limit. You have poor health: Having a serious medical problem that is likely to shorten your life is another reason to start your benefits sooner rather than later. Consider the “breakeven point” – the age you need to reach to come out ahead by waiting to claim Social Security – is 78 for someone who claims at 62 versus waiting to 66. If you don’t anticipate making it to 78, go ahead and claim early.
However, if you are married or have other dependents at home that depend on your benefit, you may want to hold off because starting early will reduce their survivor’s benefits. You’re a lower-earning spouse: If you’re married and your lifetime earnings are much lower than your spouse’s, you could take your benefit early but your higher-earning spouse should delay. This lets you increase your household income now, while the higher-earning spouse’s benefit grows, therefore increasing the survivor benefit. This strategy is best suited when a lower-earning wife is three to six years younger than her husband and her earnings are 30 to 40 percent of his. She should claim at 62 and he should claim at full retirement age, or better yet wait to age 69 or 70. Because the husband is likely to die earlier, the wife’s reduced benefit will be temporary and she will then qualify for the higher survivor benefit. Skeptical of Social Security: Many people take their retirement benefits early because they fear Social Security will
go bankrupt, but this not a good reason to start collecting early. While it is true that the Social Security trust fund will become insolvent around 2033 – 17 years from now – if no changes are made, that doesn’t mean there will be no more money for benefits. It means that the fund is no longer taking in enough money to cover all promised benefits. Thus payment checks are likely to end up shrinking by about 25 percent. But, if the thought of losing out on your benefits keeps you up at night, then it may be better to start claiming early instead of holding off for more later. To see how much your benefits will be affected by your claiming age, use the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s new Planning for Retirement tool at consumerfinance.gov/retirement/ before-you-claim.
