Understanding Social Security

Service Description

This course explains the major features of the Social Security program. Social Security is a government program designed to financially assist the senior population in their retirement years. Even though most Americans will eventually participate, many have a limited knowledge of how the program functions. The course outlines major benefits available, eligibility rules to receive those benefits, strategies to maximize benefits, and limitations of the program. The course dispels some of the myths surrounding the difficulty, or ease, of qualifying for benefits, especially disability income benefits.
