Do You Have Questions About Social Security?
If you have questions about Social Security, you’re not alone! And, you’ve come to the right place. Navigating the decision to claim Social Security benefits can be confusing and, sometimes, overwhelming. Common questions are …
– What is the right age for me to claim Social Security?
– How will my decision to claim affect Spousal and Survivor benefits?
– Can I continue working while receiving benefits?
The answers to these and other Social Security questions are unique for each person’s and couple’s scenario. There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution. Understanding the many rules and requirements that apply to Social Security benefits before you claim is critical to avoid pitfalls and optimize your benefits.

Maximize Your Benefits
Discover important information for your situation.
Married
If you are married, you may be able to collect up to one-half of your spouse’s Social Security benefit. This won’t affect your spouse’s checks. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Divorced
If you are divorced and 62 or older, you may qualify to receive Social Security benefits from your ex-spouse — in addition to your own Social Security payments. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Widowed
If your spouse has passed away, you may be eligible for a survivor benefit. The extra money may be essential for you. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Single
If you are single, and solely responsible for your retirement, making the optimal Social Security claiming decision is particularly important. Ask an RSSA® about your options.
Self-Employed
As a self-employed person, you may be able to decrease your payroll taxes — yet still receive the maximum income from Social Security. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Disability
Social Security can provide valuable disability benefits if you qualify, but these benefits — and how you qualify for them — are often misunderstood. Ask an RSSA® for details.
Immigrant
If you are a lawful permanent resident, but not yet a citizen, you may still qualify for Social Security benefits. Ask an RSSA® for details.
I had some esoteric questions about maximizing my retirement benefits and retroactivelynapplying for some benefits I had missed. Dale was extremely helpful. I loved his attitude as much as his knowledge of the topic. He seemed to really want to do the best for me. Additionally, he provided great and prompt follow-up. All at very reasonable prices. Based on my experiences with him, I can confidently recommend him for social security questions and retirement benefits maximization.
Dale Walker gave thorough and useful information and answered all my questions so I could really understand my Social Security benefits and how the way the Social Security system calculates benefits. I found that it was especially helpful to receive information that was in depth regarding how Social Security benefits and other forms of income earned while receiving Social Security could effect my taxes.
I now feel ready and have a plan going into my 60s so I can get the most out of my benefits. While reading the Social Security website is helpful, it is so much better to talk and ask questions to get a good idea of what you want to do, and I am very thankful I was able to discuss my particular situation and options available to me with Mr. Walker. It was an excellent educational session that I believe will lead to less financial problems for myself in retirement.
Dale is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He put together a detailed and thorough analysis for me and my husband that is invaluable for helping us make the decision on when to file for social security. He walked through it with us explaining how the calculations were determined. He also identified a couple of things we need to pay special attention to when working with the SSA to file. He was generous with his time and offered to collaborate with our financial planner.
We highly recommend Dale.
Dale was exceptional with providing and explaining the reports needed for us to make the correct decision on when to draw Social Security, he took to time to review each scenario and made sure we understood each option.
Highly recommended!
Dale’s in depth review helped me and my wife decide on the best course to take on our Social Security. The different options and analysis were
Very helpful.
Dale was excellent to work with! He was patient with me in the pre-meeting process of creating my Social Security account, and in helping me gather and download the info he needed to create my Roadmap analysis. Prior to our meeting, he guided me through the various reports he sent me so that I would be informed and know what questions to ask when we did meet. During the meeting itself, he thoroughly explained the details found on the reports, and ran me through a number of different scenarios that applied to both myself and my wife’s benefits. I came away from the meeting with a better understanding of my options, and will be back in touch with him once I get closer to drawing my Social Security benefits.
