Learning Objective

  • To review the history of social security.
  • To explain why social security is a big asset for many retirees.
  • To discuss how social security benefits are calculated.
  • To identify various options for maximizing social security.

Course Overview

Social Security is good for providing a basic retirement income that you and your spouse can rely on.  It is an integral part of retirement planning.

Social Security will comprise 40-60% of a retired individual's guaranteed income in retirement. It often provides benefits to two lives, so making the right claiming decision can significantly impact the amount of money available to a surviving spouse. Sadly, less than 4% of Americans claim benefits at the earliest age possible, taking a significant reduction in benefits, and often paying more taxes as well.

Key topics covered in this course are:

  • Overview of Social Security
  • Social Security is the Foundation of Income Planning
  • Social Security benefits calculation
  • Claiming SSA Retirement Benefits
  • How to verify Earnings History?
  • Optimizing social security strategies

This CPE Finance webinar will help you explain the importance of understanding when and how to take distributions at the right time so you can live in peace in retirement.
