Retirement Solutions will be presenting a free Social Security information workshop at the New Hartford Public Library at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 2, for pre-retirees age 55 and older.
Today’s baby boomers can expect to spend more time in retirement given increased life expectancies. As a result, claiming one’s Social Security benefits is no longer a simple decision. For many retirees and their spouses, taking the time to properly evaluate this important financial decision can be a major step toward a more comfortable retirement.
Topics covered include:
- When is the best time to claim benefits?
- How much money can one earn before getting penalized?
- Survivor benefits
- Recent changes in legislation and how they will impact benefits
- Avoiding frequent claiming mistakes
- Why Social Security is crucial to women
The workshop is open to the public. There is no cost to attend. Advanced registration is required. Light refreshments will be served. To RSVP, contact the library at (315) 733-1535.
