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.
Siva is the best! I worked for the post office for over 30 years and had to retire after finding out I had cancer. I also have a sick husband to take care of and an adult child with severe mental disabilities. All this to say, the advice Siva offered and the expertise he used to guide me through the process was such a blessing. I did not have the first clue as to what I needed to do regarding my social security and I am lost with so much of the technology things. I am so lucky and grateful that Siva was able to meet me where I am and patiently walk me through the process. Siva is deeply knowledgeable about the entire process and I cannot say enough about how grateful I am for his professionalism and guidance. Thank you, Siva!
My wife and I were so fortunate to work with Siva. I have a genetic neurological disease that has made my life difficult. I do not know the first thing when it comes to social security or technology (In fact, I am having my daughter submit this for me because my disease has made typing impossible and I keep losing my email password). Siva made this part so easy. He knows everything there is to know about the social security process and the patience and professionalism to guide even the most clueless through the process. If he was able to work with me, he can work with anyone. Highly recommend.
Siva Shanmugan is a great advisor and very knowledgeable. He is very thorough and explained everything in detail that made me feel very comfortable. I have been recommending him to my friends that are thinking of retiring.
