Social Security Planning Workshop for Baby Boomers

After being told for years that Social Security is "going broke," baby boomers are realizing that it will soon be their turn to collect. But the decisions they make now can have a tremendous impact on the total amount of benefits they stand to receive over their lifetime.

To help baby boomers better understand the Social Security system, this workshop will cover

  • 5 factors to consider when deciding when to apply for benefits
  • When it makes sense to delay benefits -- and when it does not
  • Why you should always check your earnings record for accuracy
  • How to estimate your benefits
  • How to coordinate benefits with your spouse
  • How to minimize taxes on Social Security benefits
  • How to coordinate Social Security with your other sources of retirement income

Seating is limited and reservations are required. Individuals may reserve space by calling North Haven Community Services and Recreation at 203-239-5321 ext 770.
