Maximize Your Social Security Benefits
Making informed decisions about when and how to claim Social Security can have a significant impact on your retirement strategy. Learn how to maximize your benefits and coordinate them with other sources of retirement income. Topics include the current state of Social Security, benefit timing, spousal and divorcee options, tax reduction strategies, and coordination with state and federal retirement plans. We’ll also discuss recent changes, including the Social Security Fairness Act, which eliminated the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO), as well as considerations for self-employed individuals and government employees.
