Maximizing Your Social Security

$12

with Jess Ryan

Calendar Current session started Mar 10, 2026 at 5:30 pm

Social Security is an extremely complex pension system with numerous rules and nuances. It is not necessarily the job of the Social Security Administration to help you decide upon the best strategy for you and your family; they generally just do what you tell them without providing you with advice. This class will educate you on the potential benefits of deferring your Social Security and also provide claiming strategies for those of you who are married, divorced, or widowed. You'll also learn how to avoid costly mistakes and how to maximize your benefit. Jess Ryan is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®.
