(.15 NCRA CEU; 1.5 NM CE HOURS)
The Savvy Social Security presentation is geared towards Baby Boomers thinking about retirement. They've probably paid Social Security tax for decades. In fact, we all pay it every time we get a paycheck, yet most of us don't really understand how the system works. There are almost 700 different ways to claim benefits, and people are leaving huge amounts of money on the table due to lack of education. Our presentation bridges the information gap and allows for informed, educated decision making.
Presented by Brad Yablonsky, Financial Advisor
