Episode 17 is the first in a two-part series that takes a look at the basics every beneficiary should know about the program. The topics discussed this week are how to qualify for the program, how benefits are calculated, what is Full Retirement Age (and why is it important), and the impact of filing early, filing at Full Retirement age, or delaying filing.
