Is there a benefit for candidates to wait til the deadline to file?

Anonymous
Looking at the Montgomery County race. Several incumbents have not filed to run yet and the deadline is February 22 I think. Like Jawando and Katz. Does that mean they aren't sure they will run? Or is there a benefit to waiting til the last minute? And there is one person I thought was running for Board of Election, but he hasn't filed yet either. Just curious.
