Product Description
This new title is an organized collection of actual questions asked by individuals from around the country to Social Security benefits expert Stanley A. Tomkiel, III. The questions are derived from emails received from real people asking real-life questions about various areas of concern for themselves and their family members. These are not academic inquiries, but rather those seeking practical answers to specific issues in people&’s lives.&
&
General information about the Social Security Administration, plus additional data about Medicare and SSI (Supplemental Security Insurance) is given. Questions and answers are then divided into categories such as: &
--Child&’s benefits&
--Disability benefits&
--Parents&’ benefits&
--Retirement benefits&
--Spouse&’s benefits&
--Survivor&’s benefits &
&
Additional questions and answers are also included, relating to: &
--Earnings statements&
--Calculations of benefits&
--Necessary timelines for application of benefits

From the Back Cover
When can someone receive survivor benefits from Social Security? How long does it take to receive approval for Social Security disability? What are the new rules for the Part B Medicare monthly premium?&
&
Over seven million people receive federally administered payments of Social Security income every month. How many of those people actually receive the amount they earned, and should you be one of them? The Social Security Answer Book answers all your Social Security benefits questions in a straightforward, easy-to-understand way.&
&
Written by an attorney and former Social Security Claims Representative, the Social Security Answer Book answers your most important questions, including:&
&
--Where can I get information about disability benefits?&
--How do I apply for Social Security benefits?&
--Can a divorced spouse claim benefits from an ex-spouse?&
--Can I sign up for benefits on the Internet?&
--Can my mother-in-law collect Medicaid even if she has never worked?&
--How much money can I earn while drawing Social Security after full retirement age?&
--Can I work part time and still receive Social Security payments?&
&
Written in an easy-to-read, question and answer format, the Social Security Answer Book helps you understand the new rules that you need to know to collect your Social Security.&
&
Stanley A. Tomkiel, III, Esq., received his law degree from Western New England College School of Law. He is admitted to practice in both New York and Florida. He was formerly employed by the Social Security Administration as a claims representative.&

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but too much repetition., December 15, 2008
The book is OK and gives some good info on the Social Security system. However, there is a lot of repetition in the question/answer technique the book uses.
