Social Security is one of the few income sources that keeps up with inflation and lasts for a lifetime.  But most women fail to maximize their benefits because they don’t understand the little know rules that can help them get more out of the system.

The workshop will cover:

• How much Social Security you stand to receive over your lifetime
• How the decision you make in your 60’s can determine the amount of income you will have in your 80’s and 90’s
• How to take advantage of spousal benefits, survivor benefits, divorced spousal benefits, and even divorced spousal survivor benefits
• How to coordinate your own retirement benefits with benefits you may receive as a spouse, or divorced spouse.
• Why women who are married should make decision about when their husband should apply for Social security.
• Why you should consider your husbands life expectancy when deciding when to claim your own retirement benefits
• What to do if your husband or ex-husband dies
• What to do if your marital status changes
• How to plan for the extra-long life
