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.

In follow-up from last week’s hearing on Social Security’s disability claim backlog, members of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Social Security stressed the criticality of accelerating the handling of disability claims, citing the “220 days for an initial decision and another 213 for an initial appeal” as unacceptable averages. For a recap of the discussions at the 10/26 hearing, check out Chairman Jason Smith’s message here.
