SOCIAL SECURITY?

A secure, comfortable retirement is every worker's dream no doubt. We have our 401k Plans, Our IRA's, and other Investments, that are geared towards that goal. However, many that are close to retirement tend to forget about Social Security and the other benefits provided by the Social Security Administration. Even though this benefit may not be around for the long term, it still provides a valuable benefit for those nearing retirement. Please read below and see how you can incorporate Social Security into your retirement plan.

eRollover has found retirement tools and links that will help you to see your Social Security Benefits:

How the Social Security Retirement Planner can help you now This planner provides detailed information about your Social Security Administration retirement benefits under current law and points out things you may want to consider as you prepare for the future. If you are:

• Looking for Social Security Administration and information, you can: o Find your retirement age, o Use our Retirement Estimator and our other benefit calculators to test different retirement ages or future earnings amounts,

o Learn about Social Security programs, o Find out what happens if you work after you retire, and o Learn how certain types of earnings and pensions can affect your benefits.
• Already near retirement age, you can: o Discover your retirement options, o Get information about how members of your family may qualify for benefits, o Find instructions on how to apply for benefits and what supporting documents you'll need to furnish, and o Apply for retirement benefits.

Reminder: You need to sign up for Medicare close to your 65th birthday, even if you will not be retired by that time. (If you are getting Social Security benefits when you turn 65, your Medicare Hospital Benefits start automatically.)
