I was recently given this warning by email asking me to buy their book.

"In fact, as of February 1, 2018 millions of people will each begin to leave as much as $66,912 unclaimed... if they don't do something to activate this extra payout."

I'll turn 62 in March but am not planning to retire till my full retirement age. Is there some action I need to take before Feb 1 or are they just trying to sell me a book?

Hi,

I don't know of any significance to the date February 1 with regard to Social Security, so I'm not sure what the email you received refers to.

We believe that using our software is the most reliable way to determine your best strategy with regard to claiming Social Security benefits.

Best, Jerry
