The workshop is entitled “Social Security and your retirement planning – Tips on maximizing your Social Security benefits as part of your financial planning”.   This workshop is geared to individuals who are planning retirement and are not yet drawing Social Security benefits.  Speakers include a representative from the Social Security Administration (SSA) and a local independent financial planner.  Audience will see a demonstration of Social Security’s new interactive web page at www.ssa.gov called “My Social Security” which is the government’s official site to review individual’s own SSA benefits.

PASSAGES helps older adults and family caregivers with important services to empower them to remain confident in their ability to sustain and enjoy independent lives.  Joe Cobery, PASSAGES Executive Director, states “people who are retired, or are considering retirement, are especially vulnerable considering the current economic climate.  It is extremely important that seniors and family caregivers are educated on all options for a well thought-out estate and long term care plan.”  For more information about PASSAGES services go to www.passagescenter.org.
