I'm delving into how SS benefits are calculated and have a couple of questions.
When SS benefits are calculated, does the model:
1.) Use your top 35 years of actual wages (after indexing)
2.) Top 35 actual wages (indexed) unless you exceed the 'Max earnings' for that year at which time you use the 'Max earning' value
3.) Top 35 actual wages (non-indexed) unless you exceed the 'Max earnings' for that year at which time you use the 'Max earning' value
4.) Something else?
