22 Useful Tips to Maximize Your Retirement Benefits

Consider your initial date of service

People with a job within the government or receiving a defined benefit pension from their employers, should inform the human resources department about their job start date before planning their last days of employment, advises Jason Silverberg.

The financial expert says people should try retiring on the date following the anniversary of their first day of service. “This will give you one more full year of service credit toward your pension calculation without working beyond that date without credits,” he adds.
