Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products utilizing a generated retirement score for use qualification and authorization to receive benefits. In this way, the invention calculates a retirement score for the user indicating the user'"'"'s preparedness for retirement at a future predetermined date, wherein the future predetermined date is selected by the user. In response, the system displays the retirement score on a retirement planning interface on a user device. Subsequently, the invention parses out the component parts of the retirement score, distributes the parsed scores within the entity to determine benefits available to the user. These benefits may be provide via the planning interface. Finally, the retirement score may be combined with financial assessment scores and provided to third parties for product approval and implementation for user.
