SUMMARY:Smart\, Assured Living for Seniors
DESCRIPTION:It’s a new concept\, but one that’s rapidly gaining momentum. We’re talking about what many consider to be a natural evolution of what has become known as the “smart home” or the “connected home.” The technology that has worked its way into our daily lives–ideas like video doorbells\, smart appliances\, electronic virtual assistants\, and the like–had as its main thrust the modernization of our living space for convenience and the broad spectrum of gadget control\, and it’s now poised to explode into the realm of aging assistance and health services. Emerging from this convergence is a new concept many are calling “assured living\,” a concept that one of its main proponents–Richfield\, Minnesota’s Best Buy Co. Inc–describes as the use of technology “to help adult children remotely check in on the health and safety of their aging parents.” \nSo\, what does all this mean? Assured living is a natural extension of the smart home concept\, aimed at helping seniors accomplish what an estimated 90% of them prefer to do: live out their later years in their own home. The concept extends communication technologies to help seniors live independently in their familiar surroundings\, facilitating electronic connections with their remote family members. Likewise\, the concept can enable health care providers to be included in this support network\, with the end result being a cohesive\, easy-to-navigate electronic environment that reinforces quality of life. \nOur upcoming seminar will focus on how smart home devices and their supporting technologies interact cooperatively to support an aging population. Whether it’s environmental control\, specific device control\, or external communication aids\, the objective is to provide an atmosphere of convenience\, safety\, and security for a segment of the population projected to encompass 70 million Americans by the year 2030.  Here are the details that will be covered: \n\nWhole Home Wi-Fi Systems\nSmart Devices\n\nvoice assistants\nsmart locks\nsmart lights\nsmart outlets and smart switches\nsmart thermostats\nrobot vacuums\n\n\nAssistive Technology\n\nGPS-based communications assistance\nRemote medical and health monitoring devices\nAutomated medical reminders\nTablet-based communications assistants\nHearing and conversation aids\n\n\nAssured Living\n\nRemote monitoring of the loved one’s home\nCommunicating with loved ones remotely\n\n\n\nJoin us for a lively review of this rapidly growing concept. As always\, there is no charge for this seminar\, and light refreshments will be provided. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Social Security Hot Buttons! An Update
DESCRIPTION:Whether it’s when to file\, how much of a benefit can I draw from my ex-spouse’s work record\, or how much can I earn if I keep working after filing early\, the questions just keep rolling in to the AMAC Foundation’s Social Security Advisory Service. And while we’re handling roughly 300 inquiries each month\, we’ve found that many of the questions cluster around a handful of basic areas. With this in mind\, we thought it might be helpful to provide an update on these most commonly queried subjects\, and that we present this update in a public setting where seminar attendees can get the facts straight from our staff of Certified Social Security Advisors. \nJoin us on Thursday\, November 15 for a lively session as our Advisors interpret the rules for you! We’ll update you on the details associated with these areas of Social Security: \n\nThe basics (10 minutes)\n\nEligibility requirements\nFull Retirement Age (FRA)\nHow benefits are calculated\n\n\nWhen to file (15 minutes)\n\nEarly filing\nFull Retirement Age\nDelayed Retirement Credits (DRCs)\nBreak-even Analyses\n\n\nWorking after filing (10 minutes)\n\nThe Earnings Test\n\n\nTaxation of Benefits (10 minutes)\nDisability Basics (15 minutes)\n\nEligibility\nWorking while on Disability\nTransition at FRA\n\n\nSpousal Benefits (15 minutes)\n\nMarried couples\nDivorced spouses\n\n\nSurviving Spouse Benefits (15 minutes)\n\nSurviving Spouses\nSurviving Ex-spouses\n\n\nWindfall Elimination Provision/Government Pension Offset (10 minutes)\n\nWho is affected\nImpact on benefits\n\n\n\nThis event will be streamed live via the AMAC Foundation’s website.
