Upcoming Social Security Events

Posted on 10/03/24 by Ted Carey


Social Security is essential for helping to cover living expenses and pay your bills. If politicians don’t take action to protect and save Social Security in the next 10 years, your Social Security could be cut by 20 percent – an average of $4,000 a year. We want you to have all the information you need about Social Security. So, we have a number of events where you can learn more.


Social Security 101
Thursday November 21, 7:15pm | Online
If you would like to have a better sense of how to make the most of your Social Security benefits, this workshop can help. We’ ll focus on the decisions you will be making about when to claim Social Security benefits and what implications those choices may have on your finances. Topics to be addressed include:

  • How to estimate what your monthly Social Security benefits will be 
  • How to claim your benefits  
  • The circumstances that may affect the size of those payments, such as your marital status, years in the workforce and when you opt to claim benefits

The goal is to help you build confidence in your ability to make decisions that are right for you.

Community Conversation About Social Security
Tuesday, Dec 3 at 2pm | Northampton
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 and the Social Security Administration, 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.
Social Security is your money—you earned it through a lifetime of hard work. You can also get answers to your specific Social Security questions.
Light food and refreshments will be served. This event is free and open to the public.
