I started drawing at 63, not knowing about the dependent care benefit. My son graduates from HS in a few weeks, the total benefit brought in an extra 30K over the past 3 years.

I kept a record of the money we spent on him...the money helped, but we sure as heck didn't profit from it.

(3) if you don’t need the money. ... because if you wait too long then you can end up sick and debilitated and the money won’t do you any good, or if you croak early, the gov gets to keep all of your money ...
