RSSA® Client Testimonials

“I have an MBA in Finance and a law degree but even then, I know it is foolish not to engage a specialist to at least verify your findings. Melissa did a marvelous job uncovering critical path options that I was totally unaware of, as well as the categorizations of spousal and child benefits, and the optimal times when claims should be initiated – all extremely essential if you have a special needs child.”

“Martha was referred to my spouse & I in anticipation of applying for SS benefits. She was oh so right on (!) with her advice. The SSA website had similar information, we learned after Martha helped us with options and strategies, but Martha presented the information in ways that were CLEAR and obvious so we could make choices for our future together. Thank you so much, Martha! We are in the flow of the best option for us at this time.”

“Thomas was awesome. His report was thorough and helped me understand how the WEP will impact my benefits. Never getting answers from social security, all I had before were the WEP calculators provided online. But having an expert look it over, I learned I’m in better shape than I had determined.”

“At first I was not sure if the social security Advisors at RSSA were going to provide me with something that would help my wife and I with our Social Security decisions. After working with our advisor who created a personalized social security analysis for us, we were completely blown away at how little we actually knew! After spending 3 hours on hold with the local social security office and getting several different answers to the same question I knew I needed an expert and I couldn’t be more happy we found RSSA. The staff is very friendly and the fee was well worth the information, advice, and guidance we needed that would have cost us big time if we listened to the folks at the local social security office. Thank you RSSA for helping others with this complex program!”

“I’ve been wondering about my and my wife’s benefit status — this was a very useful event and glad to have the details to base decisions on.”

“Of course, in our early 60’s, when to “turn on” our Soc Security benefits was a hot topic of conversation between us and many of our peers. Everyone seemed to have a different understanding of how it all works. Working with Thomas Drapala of RSSA, we have a full explanation customized with our specific benefit options. Now we can plan with confidence. It is comforting to know we can reach back out to Thomas and RSSA for any questions that come up if things change for us.”

I first met Beverly thru my daughter in Texas late in March of 2022. As I look back at our first conversation, I felt as if God had tapped me on the shoulder and said, “Beverly is someone you can trust, and she will be a great help to you.” From that first conversation I knew she understood my situation and would give me as much assistance, encouragement, and advice as I needed.

Throughout the last several months Beverly has gone over and above in assisting me with the process of contacting the Social Security Administration, especially in letter writing to the Acting Commissioner and Inspector General, as well as speaking with other SSA offices. While working together, her advice and encouragement has been extremely helpful.

I remain hopeful that the process of settling this situation with SS is getting close to complete, but until it is, I know I can count on Beverly to walk the last mile with me. I am so very grateful to have met such a wonderful professional and caring human being.
