Given that there are millions of Americans who rely on Social Security, it’s fair to say there are millions of concerns.

We at NORA know that every senior’s situation is unique, but for simplicity’s sake, it helps to break down these concerns into a couple of categories. We’ve covered each in detail right here on our weekly blog.

The first is the financial side of the program, which deals with Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs), inflation, and how payments sustain seniors’ spending habits and lifestyles. The second deals with the logistical aspect of the program, concerning matters like payment schedules, understanding your benefits, and matters with the Social Security Administration (SSA).

The question is, how do seniors get the help they need to manage their Social Security concerns?

Tips for Managing Financial and Logistical Social Security Issues

We know that Social Security offices closed for some time due to pandemic policies, and issues still remain, but there are other ways seniors can get the help they need.

Recently redesigned Social Security statements provide a variety of helpful information that can also be accessed online — this offers seniors some options to manage their benefits if they don’t have the time or the means to meet with an SSA worker.

There’s also the concern about how far Social Security benefits will go in today’s economy. While it’s possible to live on Social Security, this can be challenging, so these additional resources can help retirees get more value and enjoyment from their hard-earned retirement years.

Whether you’re looking to get more value from your benefits or gain more knowledge about them, we can help.

NORA’s main mission is to campaign for yearly COLAs and see seniors reimbursed for years COLAs were skipped. We also help seniors stay informed about Social Security news, helpful tips, and more – so follow us on Twitter and Facebook today.
