Social Security Basics Everyone Should Know | Guiding You Forward

We’re getting down to basics in the Mountain America Credit Union podcast lounge—the basics of social security, that is. This subject can be very confusing, especially if you’re new to it.

Tune in to this episode of the Guiding You Forward podcast to learn about:  

• The future of social security.

• How you qualify.

• The one thing that many people forget.

Today, we’re talking with Sabrina Vienneau, our financial education program manager. First, she addresses the question she gets asked most often—Will social security exist when I retire?

Many people are worried that social security will just “run out,” but that’s not exactly how it works. Watch the video above to get Sabrina’s explanation.

Another common question—How do I qualify for social security? You need three things to receive your benefits, and the first one is to be at least 62 years old. Find out what the other two things are—including one that’s often forgotten.
