Question:   I am getting close to the age when I could start taking my Social Security retirement benefit. Where can I find more information?

Answer:   The gov’t has set up a great web site at: http://www.ssa.gov/retire
This site contains a Social Security Retirement Planner and walks individuals through the retirement application process, and offers information on issues to consider when contemplating retirement, what documents are needed when applying for benefits, and how and where to apply for benefits.   ALSO, this week’s Your Financial Choices will concentrate on the topic of Social Security – see below for more information on how to listen to this timely radio show.
