There are a few resources, above and beyond the guides available at socialsecurity.gov, that I’ve located for you – to help you as you make decisions and learn about your Social Security benefits. The good folks over at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College have developed several resources that you can find at their website.
Specifically, there is a guide to help you as you face the decision of when to apply, called the Social Security Claiming Guide. This electronic booklet provides you with all the background information you need – as well as answering some of the common questions that arise with this process.
The other publication of note at this website is called the Social Security Fix-It book. In this guide you’ll find a review of the overall Social Security system, what’s presently wrong with it and what the future looks like, as well as several alternatives that could be put in place to fix the system.
Happy reading!
