Find out now if you can retire or get disability help
Established in 1935, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is a federal agency that administers retirement, disability and survivor’s benefits to offset economic insecurity from injury, unemployment or old age. Social Security benefits are funded by money drawn from the paychecks of workers, and distributed to individuals as monthly payments upon retirement or as unemployment insurance.
Deciding when to apply for Social Security is a big decision, and one that you shouldn’t be making lightly. Whether you're facing unexpected hardship due to unemployment or injury, or if you're beginning to plan for your retirement, an understanding of Social Security and what benefits you can expect will be important to your decision.
If you have questions about Social Security and how it may affect your current situation, a quick answer from a Verified tax expert on JustAnswer may be able to save you from the need to schedule a meeting with a financial planner.
