"Get What's Yours" has proven to be the authoritative guide to navigating the perplexing maze of Social Security and obtaining the most benefits attainable. It's a fascinating manual of techniques and strategies authored by well-known financial analysts that can't be found anywhere else. You might try reading all 2,728 rules of the Social Security system (and the thousands of explanations), but Kotlikoff from academics, Moeller from the popular press, and Solman from public television all describe the system in a much more thorough and understandable way. Furthermore, they show how ignorance can be costly: incorrect decisions about which Social Security benefits to apply for cost individual retirees tens of thousands of dollars in lost income each year. (Some of them are even mentioned in the book)
"Get What's Yours" is a book that explains Social Security benefits using simple tactics and compelling stories. It addresses the most common benefit scenarios that married retirees, divorced retirees, and widows and widowers experience. It describes what to do if you're a retired parent with dependent children, disabled, or a working eligible recipient. It considers the tax ramifications of your decisions as well as the financial implications of other investments. It accomplishes all of this and more.
