The Library is holding a program on Monday, June 13 at 7:30 p.m. designed to ensure that people headed toward retirement know what they’re doing when it comes to their Social Security benefits. Many Americans think Social Security is simple and straightforward. Often it is not. Making a mistake when selecting your benefit option can cost thousands of dollars over the course of retirement. Even if you think you’re up to speed, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 made some significant changes to Social Security laws about claiming retirement and spousal benefits. If you’d like to be on top of the issues involving Social Security — especially if you’re in your 50s or 60s — come to this program at the Library, featuring Robert Leitner, a certified financial planner, registered investment advisor, and expert on Social Security benefits planning and retirement income planning. Registration is requested, but walk-ins are welcome.
