SUMMARY:Social Security 2020—Are You Ready?
DESCRIPTION:The AMAC Foundation’s Social Security Advisory Service is wrapping up its fourth year of operation\, having handled more than 8\,000 inquiries in that period.  In managing this service\, 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 at the same time provide an update on some of the changes for the coming year that have a broad impact on Social Security beneficiaries.\n\nIn keeping with our Foundation’s mission of “supporting and educating America’s seniors\,” we are again presenting this update in a public setting where seminar attendees can get the facts straight from our staff of National Social Security Advisors. Join us on Tuesday\, December 10 for a lively session as our Advisors interpret the 2020 changes for you! We’ll also refresh you on many of the basic  Social Security rules you need to understand.

SUMMARY:Life After Cable...Entertainment Alternatives!
DESCRIPTION:To Access This Event Live\, Click AmacFoundation.org/Live\nCord-cutting–the act of severing the traditional link to cable television–has grown substantially in recent years as two factors collide: the availability of a host of new options on the home entertainment market\, and growing dissatisfaction with cable companies’  price/reliability/service model. On this first factor\, the past few years have brought services like Netflix\, Amazon Prime Video\, Sling TV\, Huku\, Roku\, and others into the mainstream vocabulary\, while on the second factor\, many households have begun to take exception to what is perceived as a continual ramp up of pricing from the cable companies and somewhat of a deterioration in reliability and service levels. \nFor many households\, price has been the driver to consider dropping their cable service in favor of a newer\, cheaper option. Yes\, the cable companies gleefully advertise that their contract gives you hundreds and hundreds of channels\, and it breaks down to perhaps pennies for each of them. But realistically\, how many different channels do you really want? Most people typical have only a handful of favorites\, maybe a half dozen or so\, while the “hundreds and hundreds” available on cable are rarely–if ever–accessed. Here’s where the pay-as-you-go options of the rapidly emerging streaming market emerge as attractive alternatives. \nOK\, but how do I get there? What do I need to have to get there? And when I get there\, what have I given up? These and many other relevant questions will be answered in this informative two-hour session presented by the Foundation. Experts from Best Buy’s “Geek Squad” training staff will explain the marketplace\, covering the equipment and contract details you’ll need to consider in order to take the leap. \nHere are the details: \nDate:     Wednesday\, August 9. 2017 \nTime:     10:00 am to Noon \nPlace:    Lady Lake Library\, 225 West Guava Street\, Lady Lake\, FL 32159 \nThere is no cost for this workshop\, and light refreshments will be served. \nTo register: Contact the AMAC Foundation\, 888-750-2622 or email: info@amacfoundation.org \n  \nDeadline for reservation is Wednesday\, August 2\, 2017.

SUMMARY:New to Medicare Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will cover the details those aging into Medicare eligibility need to know. We’ll focus on the terminology used by practitioners and Medicare administrators\, the key decisions that Medicare newcomers need to make\, the timing considerations that need to be understood\, and a host of issues critical to navigating this senior benefit program. \nLed by a seasoned professional with extensive familiarity in the insurance industry\, the workshop will provide a clear perspective on the road leading to successful Medicare sign-up. The general intent is to ensure that attendees leave with an understanding of the basics of Medicare and its major components. No products will be marketed at the workshop…it is simply a service to make newcomers comfortable with the many facets of the program. \nLight refreshments will be served\, and time for questions will be provided\, along with several helpful handouts supporting the information covered in the workshop. \nNote also that\, for those unable to attend the morning session\, we will be hosting a repeat session at 5:30 pm the same day. \nSeating is limited…deadline for registration is Friday\, July 14\, 2017 at 5:00 pm. \nNOTE LOCATION CHANGE: This session will be held at AMAC’s Leesburg Office…call for directions (888-750-2622).
