FRANKLIN — A complimentary seminar to inform individuals nearing retirement about how the Social Security program works and customized levels of benefit eligibility, will be held at Franklin Savings Bank (FSB) from 6 — 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 30. Sponsored by FSB and their subsidiary, Independence Trust Company (ITC), the workshop will educate the community on how retirement benefits of individuals and spouses are calculated, eligibility of full retirement benefits, choices regarding when to start receiving benefits, how benefits are affected when a spouse dies, whether income may reduce Social Security benefits, how early one can qualify for Medicare, and more. Kenneth Baron of the Social Security Administration will be the presenter. “We realize how complicated and overwhelming Social Security elections may appear,” said Michael Ventura, ITC president and CEO. “Our complimentary information session takes the confusion out of the details and provides factual information as it pertains to individuals and couples. We are happy to serve as an educational resource for individuals as they sign up for the coverage.” Seating is limited. To make a reservation, call Pam Hannan at 934-8372 or (800) 821-1776.
