Clarity on New Social Security Rules
The Social Security Administration finally updated its site this week to include information on the new rules regarding filing for Social Security. These new rules phased out a few popular practices that many people were taking advantage of to boost their benefits. Since the changes took hold, the whole system has been shrouded in confusion, even employees not being able to give adequate information on the changes. Even with the new explanations posted, it can still be pretty murky and will take a while for everyone to get used to the new way things will work. For this reason it is more important than ever to make sure you are read up on the process of filing and knowing your options before the time comes that you will need to file.
