attendance program. The program might help wartime veterans and their surviving spouses when their living expenses exceed income below a certain threshold. • Apply for your Social Security
benefits. But first check out how much more you might receive for each month you delay. • Reconsider retirement. Return- ing for part-time work can pump up your finances, allow you to par- ticipate in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, and increase the value of your Social Security ben- efits. However, beware of penalties if you’re already collecting Social Security benefits. Regardless of what shape your personal finances are in, you can strengthen them by pursuing some of the ideas discussed here. Whether you’re already retired and thinking of downsizing or at the peak of your earning power in your second career and putting away sav- ings, there’s always one more rep that you can manage. Keep your finances fit, and they won’t let your retirement get out of shape.

80 MILITARY OFFICER SEPTEMBER 2011 MO3Q11
IMPORTANT NOTE There is talk in Congress of chang- ing the computation of military retired pay. However, at press time nothing had been resolved. Congress also is exploring other indices to peg military retired pay and Social Security against. When this article was being written, military retired pay was indexed to the CPI-W. Read about that index at
www.ssa.gov/ oact/STATS/
cpiw.html. To keep up-to-date on changes,
read “Washington Scene” in up- coming issues of Military Officer.
