Ask Rusty – I’m Being Released From Incarceration, What Are My Social Security Options?

May 29, 2026 | Presenting: Russell Gloor - AMAC Foundation Social Security Advisor

“In this podcast, Rusty is contacted by a 71 year old person who is incarcerated and who is looking forward to being released in about 3 years. That person asks about applying for their Social Security benefits, and whether they are entitled to more because they waited longer to claim benefits.  The rules about Social Security for incarcerated persons can be tricky, but Rusty explains all this person needs to know about his benefits upon his release from prison.”
