Illinois Retirement Guide

Posted: at 1:44 pm


without comments

Overall If you have been looking for the best places to retire in Illinoiswe have the information to help you make a better choice. This website will give you useful data and opinions about the possiblity of retiring in Illinois, including the leading active adult retirement communities. This mid-western state had just under 12.9 million people in 2012. It combines one of America's largest cities - Chicago - along with some unspoiled farming regions. The Wikipedia entry for Illinoishas more facts.

Illinois Climate The Illinois climate is called humid-continental. There are 4 seasons. Summers are hot and winters are cold with frequent snowstorms. The southern part of the state is considerably warmer.

Economy and Real Estate Prices Illinois's 2011 median household income at just over $56,576 is slightly higher than the United States average. Median home prices are similar to those in most of the U.S.. In 2013's 1st quarter the median home in the Chicago/Naperville Metro sold for $159,400. In the Champaign /Urbana area the median home sold for $133,300. The Zillow Home Value Index in mid 2013 for the state was $141,100.

Illinois Taxes

Tax Burden:Total tax burden in Illinois is 30th in the nation, so the state is slightly more tax friendly than average.

Marginal Income Tax Rates.Illinois has a flat income tax rate of 5%.

Retirement Income Exemptions.A very good thing for retirees is that most retirement income and all social security income is not taxed at the state level.

Sales Tax:State sales tax is 10%; local governments also sometimes charge sales tax.

Property Taxes: Most property is assessed at 33.33% of its market value.

Homestead exemption: ASenior Citizens Homestead Exemption permits for a $4,000 reduction in the EAV for the properties of those 65 and older.

Estate and/or Inheritance Taxes. There is an estate tax; as of 2013 there will be a $4,000,000 exemption.

Other tax and financial info: Cigarette taxes are about average and gasoline taxes higher than average. The precarious fiscal health of Illinois was recently the focus of a New York Times article, Illinois Stops Paying Its Bills. The state is a solid contender to be the worse off state financially in the nation (see "Worse States for Retirement - 2012").

Link to anIL Tax Guide.

Certified Retirement Communities Illinois does not have a certified retirement community program.

Best places to retire in Illinois In 2012 Topretirements named llinois as the 2nd worst state to retire in the U.S. That was mostly based on its precarious financial condition and a government that was reeling from the governor's legal troubles. IL can be a great state for active adults and people over 50, depending on your interests, however. Choose from Illinois retirement communities that are popular with active adults over 55 near its larger cities of Chicago, Peoria, or Joliet. Or choose a smaller town such as Galena, one of America's most charming small towns, and located near the Mississippi RIver in the northwestern part of the state. Galena at one time was bigger than Chicago, but now has fewer than 10,000 inhabitants. Champaign/Urbana is a top college town known as a cultural oasis. A number of active adult and 55+ communities have been built in the Elgin area.

At Topretirements.com our job is to provide the objective facts and peer-reviewed profiles to help you find the best community for you. So if you are considering an Illinois retirement, check out the listings on this site. Here is more inside information on retirement living communities in the neighboring states to help you retire in Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Arkansas. These links provide insight and data into economic conditions, climate, top communities, and taxes.

Municipal Employees’ Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago

Posted: at 1:44 pm


without comments

MEABF is a defined benefit, single employer benefit plan that was established in 1921 by an act of the Illinois General Assembly to provide disability and retirement benefits to qualified employees of the City of Chicago and the Chicago Board of Education. Our sole purpose is to pay earned benefits to our members, which is funded by a combination of member contributions, taxes levied by the City of Chicago, and investment earnings from Plan reserves. MEABF is a component unit of the City of Chicago, and as such, is included in the City of Chicago's financial statements as a pension trust fund.

September 21, 2015

Public Act 98-0641 - Update

Thet Cook County Circuit Court overturned Public Act 98-0641. The effect on your benefit is that the 3% compounded annual increase is restored. Back on January 1, your monthly annuity was increased by an amount less than the 3%. This payment represents the adjustment in your annual increase retroactive to January 1, 2015. The benefit due October 1, 2015 will represent your new, monthly, gross annuity with the 3% annual increase.

December 29, 2015

2016 Annual Statements

Effective January 1, 2016 the City of Chicago insurance rates for the annuitant health care plan will be changing. Please use the following link for additional information available to annuitants: http://chicagoretireebenefits.org.

Social Security Inside Out: Retirement, Spouse, Widow Benefits

Posted: February 16, 2016 at 7:51 am


without comments

Social Security claimants annually pass up billions of dollars by not using a simple, but rarely used, benefit option. This option is just one of my 44 financially rewarding insider tips that I cover in my book, Social Security Inside Out.

Recently retiring from the Social Security Administration, I wrote an 18 page workbook with answers to 27 important Social Security questions while divulging 44 insider tips to show you how to get the largest benefits possible. To keep my material up-to-date, I monitor Social Security employee manuals to update this book with any Social Security changes.

Reading my book will give you current information about Social Security and the confidence to make informed decisions to get the largest retirement, spouse and widow or widower checks.

When it comes time to collect your Social Security benefits, you need to be more than a spectator. Take an informed and active part to get the largest checks possible.

Even if you are already receiving Social Security checks, learn how to make sure you are getting the correct amount and if you can get even more in the future.

Learn the pros and cons of retiring at age 62, 66, 70 or any time from 62 to 70 years old. An insider tip explains a way to get some benefits early and still get the 32% bonus at age 70. Learn how you can sign up for retirement benefits but suspend checks to get extra money for your family in the long run.

I cover the various options so you will know how to get the most benefits. A rarely used insider tip shows you how to get extra spouse benefits even though the primary worker hasn't retired. In addition, learn how you can get spouse benefits while your own benefits grow by 32%.

You will learn how much your spouse will collect if you die. In addition, you will learn how the start of your retirement can increase or decrease future widow benefits.

I explain how a widow or widower can switch back and forth between retirement and survivor benefits to collect the most money from both programs. For example, you can draw widow benefits from 60 to 70-years-old and then switch to your own retirement with a 32% bonus. Learn when you should draw widow benefits to get the most benefits from both programs.

I explain the rules concerning divorced spouse benefits. Often you can get divorced spouse benefits even if your ex-spouse doesn't sign up for benefits. I explain whether you should collect your own retirement benefits or divorced spouse benefits or both.

I warn you about six areas that cause underpayments. For example, over 250 million W-2s never have been credited to any worker. I reveal a simple, but rarely used, insider tip to make sure you get credit for all of your work. Furthermore, you will learn the different times to contact Social Security to draw the most benefits possible throughout your life.

Included is a retirement guide, 46 Retirement Pitfalls. Save yourself financial trouble and emotional stress by learning from other retired people. This indispensable retirement guide is included FREE with Social Security Inside Out.

Me outside the White House

"I would not have asked this question if not for the book and I know that the SS worker, just as nice as she could be which was a surprise in itself, would never have suggested we do this."

"I cannot imagine anyone, especially a widow, ever contacting SSA without your booklet."

"The SS worker was reluctant to tell me I could do this - I almost did not ask because I thought it was too good to be true. It is true."

"...was so surprising to me."

"I am not dreading it (applying for Social Security) as much as I was."

"I purchased your Social Security guide and found it extremely helpful. I am receiving a divorced spouse benefit check each month even though I had been told initially that I was not eligible. Your information gave me the tools I needed to get the situation resolved."

"Just ordered another book. This time for an army buddy who is going to retire this year."

"It was very informative, useful and made the thought of applying for Social Security much less daunting."

"...a great planning tool."

"Your insights have meant the difference between less and more for (my) retirement benefits."

"My colleague was telling other branches about your workbook and they plan on ordering it."

"From my experience when you talk to more than one person you get different answers, so I want to be sure I know enough to have an intelligent conversation prior to collecting benefits."

"Investing in your book was one of the best choices I could have made."

"I've read it three times and learn something new from each reading."

"...your booklet was very "eye-opening" to say the least, a very good book"

"Thank you for your consideration and especially thank you for a clearly written, invaluable tool to enable people to get what they have earned from an extraordinarily complex program."

"Wow, you are knowledgeable!"

"Thank you, thank you and thank you."

Retirement Planner: Benefits By Year Of Birth

Posted: at 7:51 am


without comments

Full retirement age is the age at which a person may first become entitled to full or unreduced retirement benefits.

No matter what your full retirement age (also called "normal retirement age") is, you may start receiving benefits as early as age 62 or as late as age 70.

You can retire at any time between age 62 and full retirement age. However, if you start benefits early, your benefits are reduced a fraction of a percent for each month before your full retirement age.

The chart below lists age 62 reduction amounts and includes examples based on an estimated monthly benefit of $1000 at full retirement age. Click on your year of birth to find out how much your benefit will be reduced if you retire between age 62 and full retirement age.

Note: If your birthday is on January 1st, we figure your benefit as if your birthday was in the previous year.

As a general rule, early or late retirement will give you about the same total Social Security benefits over your lifetime. If you retire early, the monthly benefit amounts will be smaller to take into account the longer period you will receive them. If you retire late, you will get benefits for a shorter period of time but the monthly amounts will be larger to make up for the months when you did not receive anything.

There are advantages and disadvantages to taking your benefit before your full retirement age. The advantage is that you collect benefits for a longer period of time. The disadvantage is your benefit is reduced. Each person's situation is different, so

If you decide to delay your benefits until after age 65, you should still apply for Medicare benefits within three months of your 65th birthday. If you wait longer, your Medicare medical insurance (Part B) and prescription drug coverage (Part D) may cost you more money.

Jacksonville Area 55+ Active Adult Retirement Communities …

Posted: at 7:51 am


without comments

When many people picture a Florida retirement they imagine coastal shores in areas like Tampa Bay and Palm Beach County, or iconic cities like Orlando and Miami. However, some discerning retirees are expanding their search, and discovering Northern Florida's secret gem: the city of Jacksonville.

Located on Florida's northeastern coast, Jacksonville lies about 90 minutes north of Daytona Beach, and about the same distance southeast of Georgia's famous Okefenokee Swamp. This sprawling city stretches across over 840 square miles, making it the largest city by area in the continental United States. Yet, with an estimated population of just over 850,000, Jacksonville is much less congested than the country's more densely populated cities.

In addition to being the largest city, Jacksonville also has the distinction of ranking first among U.S. cities when it comes to its total acreage of parks. There are more than 57,000 acres of parks, including state and federal lands, in the city of Jacksonville. Pocket parks dot the urban landscape, along with athletic fields, playgrounds, hiking trails, bridle paths and boat launches.

Water lovers will be happy to learn that Jacksonville is located on the banks of the impressive St. Johns River. This beautiful waterway is the perfect place for sailing, kayaking, fishing and other water-based recreations. Providing beautiful areas to stroll, jog or simply take in the lovely scenic views, Jacksonville's Riverwalk stretches for over two miles on both the north and south banks of the river.

For even more water fun, sunny Atlantic Coast beaches are located directly east of the city center. The beautiful beaches near Jacksonville are less developed, and less congested with tourists, than many of the beaches found along Florida's peninsula coasts. Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach offer miles of sandy coastline and tranquil ocean vistas.

In downtown Jacksonville, notable urban attractions include a variety of popular museums. The Cummer Museum boasts an impressive range of displays, including a permanent collection of over 4,000 items. Jacksonville's Museum of Contemporary Art features an innovative art collection, and the Museum of Science and History is fun for visitors of all ages.

Sports fans will enjoy taking in a game at Everbank Field. This impressive stadium complex is home to the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars. Everbank Field was the site of the 2005 Super Bowl, and each year the city hosts the Gator Bowl, a college football classic. The Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville sets the stage for minor league baseball, and the Veterans Memorial Arena hosts a variety of athletic competitions and performances by world-class entertainers.

Retirees will also find some spectacular active adult communities in the Jacksonville area. Cascades at World Golf Village is a lovely intimate community which boasts many desirable features, including the famous Caddyshack restaurant, which is owned by Bill Murray and his brothers. Built just minutes from downtown Jacksonville, Sweetwater by Del Webb provides resort-style amenities in a prime location. And, just outside of the city, Riverwood by Del Webb is the only age-restricted neighborhood in the popular master-planned community of Nocatee.

When considering retirement in Florida, look beyond the state's peninsula to the northern city of Jacksonville. This beautifully designed area offers river and ocean access, parks and outdoor space, urban attractions and many communities which support an active adult lifestyle.

Jacksonville FL Retirement Living – Best Retirement Cities

Posted: at 7:50 am


without comments

Since Jacksonville the city and its county merged together in the late 1960s, Jacksonville is now known as the largest city in land area in the United States as well as the 13th largest population wise.

Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida and has a lot of tourism related to golf so golf-loving retirees will find it a great new home. Jacksonville is also a major port so day cruises and longer cruises are available for quick vacations. Jacksonville also has many theaters and art venues so you can easily plan day trips. Jacksonville is close to St. Augustine, which is considered the oldest city in the United States.

Many consider Jacksonville Florida to be among the best retirement cities in the U.S. Here are some other reasons to choose living in Jacksonville.

Social Opportunities: studies have shown that a good group of friends is more important to a happy retirement than money or health. Jacksonville offers many opportunities with civic groups and hobby clubs to generate a solid core group of friends. These friends can help ward off the problems of aging like dementia and health issues.

Public Transportation: rural living isn't good for seniors who can't drive since they require someone's help to get around. The expenses of transportation add up quickly for fixed-income seniors so the public transportation of Jacksonville is quite beneficial. Even better is that most public transit systems have senior rates that are much cheaper than normal.

Access to Medical Services: it's pretty obvious that if you live near a hospital, you're more likely to survive a medical emergency. Despite how your mind feels, the body starts to break down and there's a good chance you'll need a hospital visit during your retirement years. Living in Jacksonville is great since there are more specialists and medical services available and at cheaper rates.

Access to Local Businesses: city living offers walking distance to most businesses that you'll ever use in your retirement years. Even if you need to travel, there are a lot more shopping centers and discount stores in urban areas.

Fitness: exercise is critical to keeping healthy during your retirement years. Cities have every type of fitness facility from standard fitness centers to niche fitness places like indoor rock climbing walls so there's something for everyone. Even if you want to exercise on your own, there's tons of parks or indoor malls to enjoy walking in.

Continuing Education: todays seniors know the importance of exercising their brains, as well as their bodies. Urban living provides access to a wide range of classes, through local universities, museums, city recreation departments, etc. Enrolling in these types of courses can help stave off the depression that some people feel once they stop working full time.

Food and Entertainment: retirement should be full of activities you never had a chance to enjoy while working. Dinners out to fancy restaurants or weekend getaways to a nearby city or historical site are all possible living in a city. Usually, cities have tons of entertainment venues like theaters and museums and there's always something going on.

Retirement Housing Options: In Jacksonville there are unique housing options which include condos, apartments for rent, hi-rises, retirement communities, lofts, co-ops, luxury condominiums, top end townhouses and other housing for over 55 boomers and seniors.
