PRESENTER: HILLARY HATCH, PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

This session will provide details not only on the Social Security Retirement Program but it will also cover the not-so-common filing strategy options when it comes to spouses' and divorced spouses' benefits. We will cover key factors to consider when determining the right time to file, how you can work and collect benefits simultaneously, and how/when to file the application. In addition, find out how your decision to file for Social Security benefits can affect widow(er) benefits. We know that navigating a government program can be overwhelming, however, you will be amazed at how easy it is to work with Social Security, navigate their planning resources, get your questions answered, and utilize the online tools.
