Fixed

  • If entering data in a specific order you could bypass warnings and add a non-covered pension when using Social Security benefit information in place of earnings history. This can cause inaccurate calculations and is no longer allowed.
  • Going to Help Center from within initial family setup and then clicking Back would return to the very beginning of setup. Now it resumes setup where you left off.
  • Survivor percentage fields for pensions were not appearing in PDF, they now are.
  • Social Security benefits were not showing father/mother benefits for widowed situation. This is now fixed.
  • Emerging Markets asset and others could cause errors in some situations during Monte Carlo runs. This has been fixed.
  • Earnings prior to 1951 were causing errors with contingent planning enabled. They are now handled correctly.
