In 2013, AMAC—The Association of Mature American Citizens—took a big step with the creation of the AMAC Foundation, Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit entity designed to serve Americans. The Foundation’s mission is to help protect and ensure the financial security, health, and social lives of current and future mature Americans, and to help Americans navigate the bewildering array of decisions they need to make.
The Foundation’s projects and plans include providing factual information that improves understanding of the positive value of Social Security and Medicare and the current and long-term challenges these programs face, as well as providing interpretations by Certified Social Security Advisors through AMAC publications, workshops, webinars, podcasts, and telephone support.
In addition, the Foundation serves all Americans in a variety of capacities, including provision of a source of education on the principles of American Free Enterprise, long-term retirement financial planning, and preparing for life—and potential employment—after retirement.
We invite you to learn more about the Foundation and its operations at www.AmacFoundation.org
As a widow, I am not particularly interested in paper questions. I just received the earliest possible feedback after my husband died from my local office https://ssa-office.com/org/social-security-office-in-columbia-suite-101-65201/ but due to the workload, I have to wait a long time. It’s a pity that reforms are not always aimed at ordinary citizens.
Lily:
Thanks for contacting the AMAC Foundation. We are always sorry to learn of unfortunate experiences like the one you described, and we know that the COVID-19 situation and the closing of SSA offices to the public has made matters worse for many folks. We are not affiliated with the Social Security Administration, and our Social Security Advisory Service was able to quickly re-deploy staff and remain in operation without interruption, continuing to service 400-500 requests for assistance every month. You can learn more about our service here: https://amacfoundation.org/services.
If you have any further questions about Social Security, please feel free to give us a call. Our services are free to the public, and our goal is to respond immediately or, if additional research is needed, within a day. We are a public benefit cooperation, and we do not charge for our services.
Again thank you for contacting us!
