Page 83: Social Security maximization letters. Claiming age is one of the most consequential decisions a retiree makes — and one of the least legible. Claim at 62 and you lock in a permanent 30% haircut on your monthly benefit. Wait until 70 and you get 124% of your full retirement amount, plus 8% per year in delayed credits. For a couple with different earning histories, the spousal and survivor benefit coordination can be worth six figures over a 25-year retirement. The letter templates cover: claiming age analysis (the breakeven table — claim at 62 vs. 67 vs. 70, with annotated crossover points), spousal benefit coordination (covering restricted application strategy for the narrowing cohort still eligible), survivor benefit planning (the conversation advisors need to have while both spouses are still healthy), and GPO/WEP offset letters for clients who spent part of their career in a government pension job and are about to be surprised by how aggressively those offsets work. The GPO/WEP letters are the ones that prevent the most damage — because clients who discover the offset at age 67, when the decision is already locked in, have exactly no good options.
Page 84: Medicare planning letters. IRMAA is the most hated acronym in retirement planning. It's the income-related monthly adjustment amount — a surcharge that can add $500 to $800 per month per person to Medicare premiums for clients above certain income thresholds. The thresholds look back two years, which means a client who had a high-income year from a business sale or Roth conversion in 2024 is paying IRMAA surcharges in 2026, even if their income has since collapsed to zero. Templates cover: Medicare Advantage vs. Medigap comparison letters (the most common Medicare planning conversation, requiring both a benefits comparison and a personality assessment of how the client handles uncertainty), IRMAA surcharge planning (including the IRMAA appeal letter framework for qualifying life-changing events), Part D enrollment strategy, and late enrollment penalty warnings — because clients who delay Part B or Part D enrollment without qualifying coverage face permanent premium penalties that follow them forever.
