Americans: Check Your Social Security Right Now. Here's How -- and Why
The vast majority of Americans either receive Social Security benefits or can expect to get them in the future. But if you're not actually getting money put into your bank account month in and month out, odds are you don't have a good idea of how much Social Security will pay to you and your family when the time comes.
It's extremely difficult to figure out on your own what your Social Security benefits will look like in retirement or in the event you're disabled. Fortunately, there's a free and easy-to-use tool you can use to get a ton of valuable information about your benefits. Now more than ever, you need to understand exactly what to expect -- so that if and when politicians in Washington suggest changes to the program, you'll be able to evaluate what it means for you and your loved ones.
