WORKSHOP TO EDUCATE BABY BOOMERS ON
SOCIAL SECURITY
A New Generation of Retirees Prepares
to Collect Benefits
An
educational workshop titled "Savvy Social Security Planning: What Baby
Boomers Need to Know to Maximize Retirement Income" has been scheduled for
Thursday, April 22, 2010 from 5:30 – 6:45 PM at the Ridgeland branch of
the Madison County library, Hwy 51 in Ridgeland, Ms. and on Thursday, April 29
from 6-7:30 PM at the Flowood branch of Rankin County library located on
Winners Circle in Flowood, Ms.
After being
told for years that Social Security is "going broke," baby boomers
are realizing that it will soon be their turn to collect. But the decisions
they make now can have a tremendous impact on the total amount of benefits they
stand to receive over their lifetime.
Questions
boomers are asking include:
- Will Social Security be there
for me?
- How much can I expect to
receive?
- When should I apply for Social
Security?
- How can I maximize my benefits?
- Will Social Security be enough
to live on in retirement?
To help
baby boomers better understand the Social Security system, this workshop will
cover
- 5 factors to consider when
deciding when to apply for benefits
- When it makes sense to delay
benefits -- and when it does not
- Why you should always check
your earnings record for accuracy
- How to estimate your benefits
- How to coordinate benefits with
your spouse
- How to minimize taxes on Social
Security benefits
- How to coordinate Social
Security with your other sources of retirement income
Seating is
limited and reservations are recommended. Individuals may reserve space by
