 A must read December 11, 2007

I picked up the 9th edition when I got ready to retire and it saved me a lot of money and confusion and helped tremendously getting thru all the "red" tape. So a couple of years later as I get ready now to approach Medicare I need all the information I can get so I ordered the new 12 edition. Which included tons of updated information.. A recommend for anyone retiring and/or getting ready to go on Medicare

Bought this book for my husband (the accountant) since we are approaching Social Security age and weren't that familiar with SS benefits or Medicare. He has found this book very helpful in understanding the system. We would recommend.
A great resource to add to your collection. May 4, 2010

Nolo does a great job with their books. This is no exception. It is the latest edition and helps you learn and prepare for what you need to do as you approach those golden years.
A word of caution...don't rely on just one book to prepare or learn what needs to be done. The Social Security Administration sends out some useful info when they mail you those earnings statements. That's a start. Also go to their webpage for more useful resources. [...]
And check other books as well.
This book does a great job at giving you clear insights, suggestions and helps you lay out a plan of action. Applying for Medicare before you turn 65 is a key suggestion, even if you are still working and under your employer's insurance. Those tips can save you a lot down the road.
I found this book to be filled with easy-to-understand tips, insights and suggestions for anyone to be able to create of plan of action.
Again, don't rely on just one publication or book. Check out others. But this is a great resource to have in your library. And make sure you get the updated versions the closer you get to retirement.
A great book on Social Security Pensions and more! May 20, 2010
