The truth about Social Security, primarily there exist many misconceptions and myths about the benefits. Quite frankly, I myself would not encourage anyone to remain in the old paradigm of working 40 hours a week retiring on 40% of that income after a 40-year work career. In our day and age, it is far too much information on financial literacy which would behoove our people to take advantage.

The statistics from the SSI website states, 98 of every 100 children could get benefits if a working parent dies. Social Security pays more benefits to children than any other federal program. In fact, under a special rule, if you have worked for only one and one-half years in the three years just before your death, benefits can be paid to your children and the spouse who is caring for the children. Survivors Insurance exists also in addition to payments for surviving divorced spouses. If you have been divorced, your former wife or husband who is age 60 or older (50-59 if disabled) can receive benefits if the marriage duration was at least 10 years. Your former spouse, nevertheless, does not have to meet the age or length-of-marriage rule if he or she is caring for his/her child who is younger than age 16.
Contrary to popular opinion statistics prove African Americans have the highest adjusted gross income from the workforce and any extra monthly income could only assist.
