SOCIAL SECURITY STRATEGIES: When it comes to Social Security, less than half (43%) of future retirees feel they have a good understanding of the topic. Knowing how and when you choose to collect Social Security benefits can be complex because it ultimately depends on your unique circumstances. With retirees living longer today than previous generations, your choice of when to retire and collect Social Security benefits can make a significant difference in the income you collect in retirement.

Please come join us for an interactive seminar on Thursday, March 21st at 6:30 PM presented by Andrew Githmark. Andrew will cover what spousal benefits are available if you are married, widowed or divorced. He’ll review the potential effects that working in retirement and claiming early can have on your benefits.

Learn the information you need to help ensure you fully realize the value of lifetime benefit maximization. Social Security rules are complex and constantly evolving. This seminar will help you avoid potential pitfalls so you are better prepared to make these important lifetime decisions.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
