Episode 66: Social Security and how the government is set up to help you. The ultimate insider’s perspective.

Wade and Alex invite Jason Fichtner, former Social Security Administration Chief Economist, to look behind the curtains to see the steps the government is making to help you lead a dignified retirement. We discuss how steps were taken to re-frame your claiming decisions, how client service representatives are trained to provide the most up to date information for you, and the steps they continually take to make sure they are helping you become an informed consumer to help you on your way to an appropriate claiming strategy.

 

And yes, of course, we talk about the trust fund and the debt ceiling as it relates to Social Security’s solvency. Listen now to learn more!
