Social Security is, for most retirees, the foundation of a solid retirement income plan. 

Yet, many pre-retirees lack critical information to make an informed claiming decision. 

Relying on an under-resourced Social Security Administration for assistance is not the solution. Now more than ever, financial professionals are in demand to help those approaching retirement navigate the variables that should be considered before making a claim.

Join Heather Schreiber, RICP®, NSSA®, as she uncovers five critical social security concepts every financial professional should know and how to turn them into meaningful strategy-based retirement solutions.

1. Broaden the scope of your conversations by understanding how benefits are calculated;
