Flying Into Social Security Blind Will Likely Cause You to Crash
The rule book for Social Security is frighteningly large and complicated, with rules that overlap rules and regulations that contain nested requirements. In fact, the number of individual provisions in Social Security is somewhere north of 2700, and mistakes–many of which are irrevocable–are easy to make. Professional financial advisors don’t always know the correct answers, and the dedicated staff members at the Social Security office are not there to provide guidance as you develop a game plan that’s best for your situation. For these reasons, it’s imperative that anyone on or near the threshold for Social Security eligibility takes the initiative to seek out qualified advice, and that’s the essence of a post on www.kiplinger.com by Reid Johnson of Lake Point Advisory Group. Read his article here…
Johnson provides some suggestions for obtaining the advice you need, suggesting for example that individuals certified by the National Social Security Advisors (NSSA) are a good place to start. And that’s where we come in…the AMAC Foundation maintains a staff of NSSA-Certified Advisors equipped to provide researched, credible answers to your questions on Social Security rules and how they apply to specific situations.
