Social Security is an important aspect of any retirement plan. Planning for Social Security, however, can be a bit challenging. This month, we encourage you to create a my Social Security account. My Social Security allows you to see what you need to do to qualify for social security, receive estimates on your retirement income, and answer frequently asked questions about Social Security. There is more to social security than just the monthly check you get in retirement. Also see what benefits you have earned now, including disability insurance and survivorship benefits, and check on your Medicare qualification status. Follow this link to start an account:
