Challenges that Over 60 - Pre-Retirement Window typically face

How IUL Solves These Problems

For those over 60, the IUL's 0% floor provides crucial protection from sequence-of-returns risk. The tax-free income in retirement won't trigger Social Security tax on their benefits. Policy loans in retirement don't count toward IRMAA calculations. For those just starting an IUL over 60, policies can still be designed to break even in 5-7 years.

The Key Advantage: IUL policy loans are not considered taxable income at the state or federal level. This means no IRMAA triggers, no Social Security taxation thresholds crossed, and no impact on means-tested benefits.

Key Strategies for Over 60 - Pre-Retirement Window

Roth conversion in years 60-72 before RMDs begin (fill lower brackets)

1 Delay Social Security to 70 if possible for 32% higher benefit

2 Fund IUL for supplemental tax-free income

3 Long-term care insurance or hybrid life/LTC policy consideration

4 Medicare planning and IRMAA management

5 Review beneficiary designations and estate planning documents
