About this product

Product Information

Social Security law has changed Key secrets may require action before April 30, 2016. If you or your spouse turns 66 by then, you should read this book, and everyone should read updates on the authors' website , GetWhatsYours.org. But even with the law changes, the book explains numerous secrets to maximizing your Social Security benefits that you can't get anywhere else. And above all, Get What's Yours explains the lifetime payoff from waiting as long as possible. To navigate the forbidding maze of Social Security and emerge with the highest possible benefits, you could try reading all 2,728 rules of the Social Security system (and the thousands of explanations of these rules). But Kotlikoff, Moeller, and Solman do the navigating for you, explaining Social Security benefits in an easy to understand and user-friendly style. What you don't know can seriously hurt you: wrong decisions about which Social Security benefits to apply for cost some individual retirees thousands in lost income every year. Get What's Yours covers the most frequent benefit scenarios faced by married retired couples, by divorced retirees, by widows and widowers, among others. It explains what to do if you're a retired parent of dependent children, disabled, or an eligible beneficiary who continues to work, and how to plan wisely before retirement. It addresses the tax consequences of your choices, as well as the financial implications for other investments. Many personal finance books briefly address Social Security, but none offers the thorough, authoritative, yet conversational analysis found here.

    Great information

    Excellent product and information about the confusing and challenging SS process. I gave the book four stars only because it is somewhat complicated for the average person to understand. The author also tends to inject his humor into the complicated and confusing explanation of some rationally inexplicable SS requirements. I found it compelling to learn that the difference between taking payments early rather than later was a whopping 76% difference. This could be important for those who must rely mostly on these payments for their retirement income. Of course, one's health is always a factor to be included the decision. I would also suggest that you consider an excellent alternative produced and available by the same authors. It is computer software titled "Maximize my Social Security." ...

    Hard to follow, its all examples.

    I have gone through the book and still can't find how to apply for the extra money. The book seems to be all boilerplate with no or a hidden message on how to file for the extra money. I sat through the online sepal and again all boilerplate with a sales pitch to buy the book. I feel like I have been had.

  • Not a good reference book, poor writer.

    The book is great condition, but not easy read, not laid out well. It would be a great reference book if it had been written in a straight forward manner with clarity. Not the book vendors problem, but the author. I would not waste money on buying one.

  • What you don't know could cost you dearly

    This is the kind of book that you need to read and heed several years before you or your spouse reach age 60. This book explains the ins and outs of the Social Security rules to fully maximize the benefits available to you. The folks at the Social Security Administration are not going to give you any more help than what you ask for. It's kind of like a "don't ask, don't tell" policy, where if you don't ask them for advice to maximize your allowable benefits, they certainly aren't going to tell you another way to file to increase the monetary benefits you could be receiving. Most importantly, it gives you guidance about when you and your spouse should file, and request spousal benefits. If you've already started to receive Social Security benefits, this probably would be a very sad ...
