Description: LARGE PRINT EDITION S. Collins5.0 out of 5 stars Social Security for Dummies - A Really Good Guide on the Ins and Outs of Social Security. Recommend it!Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2013Verified PurchaseI've never been a fan of the "For Dummies" series of handbooks, but I've got to say that Social Security for Dummies is a book everyone should read. Just make sure you have a highlighter in hand before you start reading this book because you're going to need it! Social Security for Dummies tackles all the issues surrounding receiving your potential Social Security benefits. For example, you'll learn what you can expect when you retire at different ages, how disability works, particulars for seniors with young children, benefits in general, what happens upon the death of a partner, employment issues, how pensions play into your benefits, matters concerning your home and your health--it's all in there. There are several chapters I found especially helpful. One chapter explained all the choices you have on when to start collecting benefits, when your partner can start collecting benefits, and what to expect in terms of historical data on general inflation in the economy. There are far more ways of looking at options than you can possibly imagine, and the book does a very good job of explaining when and why to choose these options. One chapter explained how working plays into your ability to collect benefits. At some ages employment is heavily taxed, at other ages, it's very beneficial to continue working or go back to work. Another chapter explains Medicare, and the rules you need to know so you apply at the correct time. It seems this is very important to do correctly or there will be unintended consequences later. There is a chapter on challenging decisions that SSA has made on your records, and chapter one how the SS program is funded. It's all very interesting, and even more important, it's all very informative. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who's got any type of question in their mind about Social Security or about when to retire. Explanations in this guide are thorough and easy to read. The guide breaks down a complicated subject into ideas you can wrap your head around. Good book!
