This course is designed to explore the relationship between Social Security benefits that are available to workers and their families and retirement planning. The understanding of retirement at the center of our discussion will be the same as what is typically understood by retirement when business owners engage in buy-sell and business succession planning discussions. The course will begin with an exploration of background information, the purpose of which is to shed light on the history of social welfare efforts that led, both directly and indirectly to the enactment of the Social Security Act. This will provide a broad context in which to consider Social Security in the discussions of the three major benefits most closely and almost universally associated with Social Security: Social Security Disability income Benefits, Social Security Retirement Income Benefits, and Medicare. This course has been approved by the Florida Department of Financial Services for insurance continuing education credit. Course ID: 118729
