Are You Entitled to More?

Millions of Americans receive Social Security benefits without knowing what they are actually entitled to. Others fail to realize that they should be receiving a check based on their job history or relationship to a spouse, parent or child. Use The Social Security Benefits Handbook to help clarify this complicated maze.

Written from an insider’s point of view, the author—an attorney and former claims representative—leads you through the requirements, procedures and calculations you need to maximize your benefits.

The Handbook explains how to:

• Calculate Monthly Benefits • Obtain Earnings Records
• Receive SSI Benefits • Determine Cost of Living Increase
• Fulfill Reporting Requirements • Understand Reduction Factors
• Minimize Taxation of Benefits • Appeal a Decision

You can have a Social Security claim at any time, at any age. Waiting too long can cost you benefits and money. Make sure you receive all that you are entitled to. The Social Security Benefits Handbook is your key to claiming all the benefits you deserve.
