All the essential information everyone should know about social
security, from maximizing benefits to planning and budgeting for a
healthy, happy retirement.
Nearly 70 million American citizens--1 in 5 people in the US--receive
social security benefits each month, and that number is increasing
rapidly. With so many people drawing from the system, it's critical for
anyone about to start receiving benefits to be well-informed and
prepared, and for anyone already receiving social security to make sure
they're aware of how to maximize their benefits and to plan ahead for
the future.
In Social Security for Everyone, lawyer and bestselling author Carl W.
Battle's clear, matter-of-fact explanations will prepare any reader to
deal with and understand every aspect of social security benefits.
Important topics covered include:
- How to apply for social security
- Why many people never receive social security benefits
- How to maintain independence while receiving social security benefits
- Breakdowns of social security benefits for families, survivors, and
the disabled
- Taxes and social security and how they interact
- How to manage and deal with the Social Security Administration
Social Security for Everyone also includes dozens of crucial charts,
graphs, and tables to help readers plan for retirement, budget for
different situations, and maximize their benefits. It's essential
reading for anyone preparing to use social security benefits and
everyone who is already receiving social security, as well as anyone who
wants to know more about this invaluable system.
