Teamsters Local 492 Retirement Seminar 10/26/24
10/7/2024 - Teamsters Local 492 is pleased to announce that we will be holding a retirement seminar on Saturday, October 26, 2024, starting at 10:00 am. This seminar is for any of our members who are close to retirement. We will be welcoming Brad Yablonsky from RBC wealth management to explain social security benefits. (See the “Savvy Social Security Presentation Info” below.)
We will also have Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan (WCTPP) representative, Darrel Douglas, presenting information about the Western Conference Pension benefits.
Both presenters will allow time to answer any questions you may have. If you are close to retirement age, or just want to better understand these two benefits that you are entitled to, please consider attending this seminar. RSVP is required, so please call Brittany Gutierrez at (505) 344-1925 ext. 11 to let us know you will be attending.
Savvy Social Security Presentation Info:
The Savvy Social Security presentation is geared towards Baby Boomers thinking about retirement. If this is you, you have probably paid Social Security tax for decades. In fact, we all pay every time we get a paycheck, yet most of us don't really understand how the system works. There are hundreds of different ways to claim and people are leaving money on the table due to lack of education. This presentation bridges the information gap and allows for informed, educated decision-making.
Topics covered include:
1. When to start taking Social Security
2. How much you can expect to receive
3. How COLAs (Cost of Living Adjustments) affect your benefits
4. The ramifications of a spouse's death on benefits
5. How do former marriages affect benefits
6. What strategies are allowed to maximize benefits
7. The changes to Social Security based on Congress' new budget bill
8. How Social Security can be aligned with retirement plans
Fraternally,
