Social Security puts retirement in reach for millions of Americans. For most retirees, it is essential in helping to cover daily living expenses and pay bills. Yet, there are persistent misconceptions about its long-term financial stability and how it works.
During this interactive Community Conversation with AARP you’ll learn how Social Security is funded and about the future health and stability of the program. You’ll also learn how you can help protect Social Security for the hard-working Americans who have earned it.
After all, Social Security is your money—you earned it through a lifetime of hard work.
Light food and refreshments will be served. This event is free and open to the public.
