Maximizing Social Security Workshop

A Classroom Workshop for Adults, Teaching ways to Maximize your Lifetime Social Security Benefits

One of the most important decisions you need to make before you retire is when and how to claim Social Security benefits. About half of retirees apply for Social Security as soon as they become eligible at age 62, but by doing so, they may significantly and permanently impact their income and benefits for the rest of their lives. The difference between the best and worst possible decision of when to start Social Security can be well over $100,000!
