SCORE Workshop

Social Security and Medicare Made Clear

 

Social Security and Medicare Made Clear

Thinking about your Social Security or Medicare Benefits? Government has made so many changes to the plans in the recent years. Have questions or concerns? You need to attend this workshop!

Thousands of "Baby Boomers" turn 65 every single day and are eligible for Social Security and Medicare. However, many are confused about when they should apply, which plan makes the most sense to their situations, how they should take it, and how they can make the most out of it... and if you or your spouse or any associates are one of those people (ages 62-70), this is a great opportunity to get answers and make it clear. Social Security is a major source of income, and Medicare is the only health insurance after age 65 for lots of American retirees. Attending this workshop will help you plan for the future and likely give you some peace of mind.

Mandy Woo of SCORE and Ecy O’Roake, United Health Care Agent / Adviser present this workshop.
