Jim and Chris discuss listener questions on IRMAA brackets and several QLAC topics including RMD interaction, suitability, payout values, and purchase timing.
 (19:30) A listener wonders if their lower 2024 income will automatically reduce their 2026 IRMAA even though it doesn’t qualify for an SS-44, or if they must contact the SSA. (25:15) George asks whether going above certain income thresholds in 2025 could keep IRMAA lower in 2027 because of inflation adjustments. (34:30) The guys weigh whether QLAC income, once it begins, can offset RMDs on other IRA holdings. (54:00) Georgette wants to know who is a good candidate for a QLAC, how it is purchased, and which features to consider. (1:05:00) A listener seeks guidance on determining early- and late-start payout values for a QLAC and whether those values are fixed or variable. (1:10:15) Jim and Chris consider whether buying a QLAC earlier leads to higher payments at the same deferral age and what factors affect purchase timing.
