Social Security- What Retirees Need to Know 11 am

1016 W. 6th Ave. Ste 303 Anchorage AK

Description:
[11 am AKT, in Anchorage AK] Free to Anchorage Chamber members, $15 non-members. With more than 7 million Social Security-related internet searches every month, Social Security is a hot topic. Everyone is impacted, and many businesses pay into FICA for their employees. Workers wanting guidance look to their HR departments as they near retirement, who may not have the resources to address Social Security and Medicare enrollment. This is not an easy decision and is highly personal. Filing based solely on life expectancy is a big mistake. Several filing factors should be considered, including employment status, gender, marital history, children, single individuals, spousal issues, etc. As a Registered Social Security Analyst and financial professional, Karin is obsessed with studying Social Security and sharing what she's learned with others. For every person who is living a secure retirement because they had the right information and are getting the most out of their Social Security benefits, there are countless others who made a costly mistake because they were uninformed or misinformed. If you've heard people say "Social Security is going broke," you will learn why that is not true.
