Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This small volume contains a wealth of information about Social Security, which everyone must pay into while he or she is working. The authors' stated objective is to simplify Social Security and make it understandable to the lay reader. They stress the importance not only of being prepared to collect what is available but of being able to ensure that one's earnings record is accurate and that one does not overpay. A brief history of Social Security and its provisions begins the volume. The authors then explore such topics as retirement options, disability, spouse's and children's benefits, appeals, and so forth. The data they provide will help lay readers plan for retirement and discover their rights and responsibilities. Among other sources of information is the Social Security Administration's useful pamphlet Understanding Social Se curity.

From Booklist

With the exception of this book's title, everything found here is already available in various government brochures and pamphlets. That said, many libraries will still want to consider this guide to Social Security benefits. For some, identifying and purchasing government publications is a frustrating task fraught with red tape. The authors have also managed to translate some of the more confusing bureaucratese found in government explanations of regulations and policies. Finally, How to Get Every Penny is relatively inexpensive and in a format that can be readily circulated. David Rouse
