You Earned it! AARP Massachusetts Social Security Events
Social Security is essential for helping to cover living expenses and pay your bills. If politicians don’t take action to protect and save Social Security in the next 10 years, your Social Security could be cut by 20 percent – an average of $4,000 a year. We want you to have all the information you need about Social Security.
Social Security 101
If you would like to have a better sense of how to make the most of your Social Security benefits, this workshop can help. We focus on the decisions you will be making about when to claim Social Security benefits and what implications those choices may have on your finances. Topics addressed include:
- How to estimate what your monthly Social Security benefits will be
- How to claim your benefits
- The circumstances that may affect the size of those payments, such as your marital status, years in the workforce and when you opt to claim benefits
The goal is to help you build confidence in your ability to make decisions that are right for you.
