Do you think you have a good understanding of Social Security? To find out, check your knowledge against these facts from an expert.

In this recent article from The Motley Fool, the author makes note of a few things seniors might not know about Social Security. Being aware of these crucial statistics could help you get the most out of your benefits.

• More than 90% of seniors don’t know how to maximize their benefits
• Most Americans don’t know their full retirement age
• Close to 40% of future Social Security beneficiaries are confused about taking benefits early

NORA is fighting for Social Security recipients by calling for the passage of The Guaranteed 3% COLA for Seniors Act. This legislation would ensure that every American senior receives the cost-of-living adjustment they deserve. Additionally, we want this act made retroactive to 2010. Beneficiaries would receive thousands in unpaid benefits if Congress acts. However, we need the help of concerned citizens like you to make this happen.
