Dallas-Fort Worth Guest Speaker Explains When To Claim Social Security Benefits

A Dallas-Fort Worth Social Security speaker is now available to speak at no cost to libraries, Rotary clubs and community groups through Free Speakers, a pro bono speakers bureau.

Ken Jilek, RSSA®, CLTC®, owner of Help SSA, has joined Free Speakers Dallas-Fort Worth. A Registered Social Security Analyst®, he uses RSSA Roadmap® planning software to review claiming scenarios for individuals and couples.

Jilek offers, “Social Security Claiming and Retirement Income: Make Informed Choices for the Years Ahead.” He covers how claiming at 62, full retirement age or later can affect monthly benefits, how spouses can coordinate decisions, and what survivor and divorced-spouse rules may mean for a household. He is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Social Security Administration.

He speaks in person in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and virtually nationwide. Groups pay $0 to book, including fees, honorariums and mileage.

“Many of the groups we work with have members getting close to retirement," said Ginny Richardson, founder of Free Speakers. "A talk on when to claim Social Security gives them something concrete to act on.”

Groups can request Jilek on the Speakers Bureau website: dallas-fort-worth.freespeakers.org/author/kenjilek/.
