LEAWOOD, KS--(Marketwired - Oct 15, 2015) - Social Security Solutions, Inc., the market leader in Social Security claiming software and the recognized expert on benefit claiming strategies, has announced it will be offering a webinar to help financial professionals evaluate how the impending increase in Medicare premiums impacts Social Security retirement strategies. Dr. William Reichenstein from Baylor University and Robin Brewton from Social Security Solutions, Inc. will illustrate how to determine who will be impacted and specific implications to claiming strategies.
With today's announcement that there will be no cost of living adjustment for Social Security beneficiaries, Medicare premiums for some Americans are set to soar. The issue stems from a little-known Social Security law, sometimes called the "hold harmless" provision, which prevents the net Social Security payment from decreasing due to an increase in Medicare premiums. But for those who've decided to delay taking Social Security, the result could be a premium increase of more than 50%. Experts at Social Security Solutions, Inc. say that advisors must prepare themselves to help clients determine whether their Social Security plans should be adjusted.
"A number of Americans are planning to delay Social Security thinking it was a good decision. And for some, it will still be their best plan of action," stated Bill Meyer, Founder and CEO of Social Security Solutions. "But advisors need to help clients analyze the situation and determine if their planned Social Security strategy should be changed because of this development."
Social Security Solutions, creators of the SSAnalzyer software, are offering a complimentary webinar on Wednesday, October 21, at 3:00 p.m. central time. This educational session will assist financial professionals in understanding the hold harmless provision and its impact, as well as to better equip them in consulting with clients about changes that may be necessary to their Social Security strategy.
