Many seniors feel that as long as they get their Social Security check, all is well in terms of this program.

However, Social Security is complex in its scope. The complexities of the program combined with the busy lives many of us have means that it’s easy to miss out on some benefits you may be due.

This great article from Georgina Tzanetos by way of Yahoo Finance describes how you can tap into a “treasure trove” of benefits that include disability benefits, spousal benefits, child benefits, and more.

Remember — seniors have worked hard to pay into and prop up Social Security. It’s only fair that they get everything they’re due.

Don’t forget that the best way to get the most out of your Social Security benefits is to join our fight for fair yearly Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs) — check out our legislative efforts here, then follow us on Twitter and Facebook for more news like this.
