The Society of Certified Senior Advisers has released an updated version of the BASICS brochure. BASICS answers some of the most often-asked questions about Social Security, Medicare, Medicare Supplements, Medicaid, senior housing, in-home care and long-term care insurance. This informative and easy-to-read, 38-page booklet was inspired by our Certified Senior Advisers (CSAs), who have taken the time to learn about the complexity of aging and how to help seniors find the tools to navigate that journey.
Excerpt from BASICS:
"The Social Security Retirement Program was designed as a financial "safety net" for retired workers and their families. There are five major segments: Retirement, Disability and SSI, Survivor's Benefits and Medicare."
The BASICS guide will answer all your latest questions on Social Security, including:
1. How do I qualify for Social Security
