SMART MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY STRATEGIES FOR RETIREMENT
Filing for Social Security at the wrong age could permanently reduce your benefits by up to 57%. Once you file, many choices cannot be changed.
In 2026, Social Security and Medicare continue to face ongoing legislative attention, funding pressure, and regulatory changes. These developments may impact how benefits are calculated, taxed, and coordinated with your overall retirement income strategy. Unfortunately, the government does not provide individualized guidance, and many retirees unknowingly leave substantial benefits unclaimed.
This complimentary educational event is designed to help you understand your options before making decisions that could affect your income for the rest of your life.
During this informative presentation, you will learn:
How to reduce or potentially eliminate taxes on your Social Security benefits
What Medicare covers, what it does not, and how to avoid costly coverage gaps
Strategies married couples may use to help maximize lifetime benefits
How divorce, widowhood, or remarriage can affect your eligibility
Why there are hundreds of different ways to file for Social Security, and how to identify which strategies may apply to you
Key retirement law updates and what they may mean for your beneficiaries
How current policy decisions may influence your future retirement income
This event is designed for individuals and couples who are retired or approaching retirement and want greater clarity and confidence in their Social Security and Medicare decisions.
