The award-winning Social Security For Dummies-now in its fourth edition- is the one guide you need to navigate the often-complex world of Social Security benefits. You'll learn when to start claiming, how much you can expect to receive, where to find Social Security calculators, and more.

Written in an easy-to-follow, clear language, it provides comprehensive information on how to negotiate the sometimes labyrinthine system and claim everything you qualify for. You'll learn how to:
* Navigate the Social Security website
* Know which options you qualify for
* Use Social Security calculators
* Get answers to frequently asked questions
Retirement is the time for you to kick back, relax, and enjoy the fruits of your labors-Social Security For Dummies makes it easier.
