DFM News is hosting a forum Understanding Social Security this Friday, November 4th at Arsht Hall on the University of Delaware’s Wilmington campus. The event is open to the public and will be available via live webcast at DFMNews.org.
This week, DFM News is offering a variety of stories and commentary in preparation for Friday’s discussion. Today, a conversation with two economists about their efforts to help people understand what they get from Social Security when they retire.
Planning for retirement involves making some critical financial decisions, especially if you’ll need to depend heavily on Social Security benefits. There are hundreds of ways to calculate Social Security benefits but finding good advice can be difficult.
Russ Settle, retired professor of economics at the University of Delaware, and Jeff Miller, a current professor of economics at the University of Delaware are partners in SocialSecurityChoices.com, which provides guidance in calculating Social Security benefits. They sat down with DFM News’ Shana O’Malley to discuss their work and offer their thoughts on the future of the program.
