It will cover a number of specific filing strategies available to maximize eligible benefits.  Social Security benefits that will be covered include spousal, survivor, child, divorce, strategies unique to business owners, strategies for high-net-worth individuals and how to find your “Social Security Sweet Spot” (your optimal filing strategy). Many case examples will be used as a format to detail how to maximize eligible Social Security benefits so that filers do not leave any money on the table!

  2. A review of the spousal, survivor, child, divorce and other important rules. 
  3. Specific strategies available to maximize eligible Social Security benefits.
