One of the most important decisions
you need to make before you retire
is when to claim social security

apply for social security as soon as
they become eligible at age 62.1, but
by doing so, they may significantly
and permanently reduce the benefits
that they and possibly their spouses
could receive over a lifetime. Whether
you’re single, married, divorced,
or widowed, there may be ways to
maximize the lifetime benefits you
receive. Join us for an educational
