DID YOU KNOW…AMERICANS LEAVE BEHIND $25 BILLION IN UNCLAIMED BENEFITS EVERY
YEAR.

This is bad news when you think about the importance of financial security
during retirement. It’s a shame so many people lose out on some of the benefits
they paid towards during their working years.

The SSA does provide free assistance to anyone who has questions about their
benefits. You can either visit your field office or call 1-800-772-1213. This
website provides an alternative source of education. It is important to research
all of your options since there aren’t many options to “change your mind” after
you apply. You either get it right the first time or suffer through endless
appeals and waiting games.

IMPORTANT: THE IDEAL CLAIMING STRATEGY IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERY HOUSEHOLD.

You must look beyond the basic benefit schedules to avoid leaving money on the
table. It is important to consider your retirement income, health status, and
your partner’s work record. Considering all of these factors, and comparing them
to your benefit options, is an important step toward making an intelligent
decision.



There are over 2,700 rules in the Social Security operations manual, and the
average married couple has hundreds of different claiming options. It’s an
unbelievable amount of information to sort through, but even if you had all the
time in the world, knowing all the RULES would only get you so far.

THIS IS WHERE SOCIALSECURITYRETIREMENTGUIDE.COM CAN HELP YOU.

Our site is laid out in chapters like a book. We originally sold the contents on
this guide as a downloadable PDF, but we recently changed the format to a free
(advertiser supported) resource. The original author is semi-retired now and
spend his working hours as a benefits consultant. The website is still updated
as needed, but we no longer support a downloadable product or provide benefits
advice by email.



EACH CHAPTER OF THIS ONLINE GUIDE COVERS A DIFFERENT TOPIC. WE RECOMMEND
STARTING AT THE BEGINNING TO GAIN A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF HOW BENEFITS ARE
CALCULATED, AND HOW YOUR WORK HISTORY DETERMINES YOUR MONTHLY BENEFIT.
