You’ve
probably been on the web, and it’s likely that you’ve attended a
seminar. But have you ever attended a “webinar?” We recommend that
you do.
Social Security offers a
selection of webinars at
www.socialsecurity.gov/webinars.
Class is always in session — past webinars are available for you to
view at any time. The information can be valuable, but the cost is
free.

There are webinars on benefits
for wounded warriors, applying for retirement online, extra help
with Medicare prescription drug costs, and more.
The two recent webinars on the
page are on timely topics.
-
How Some Public
Employee or Teacher Pensions May Affect Social Security
Benefits. In this webinar, we walk you through how the
Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension
Offset (GPO) may affect Social Security benefits of workers
whose employers do not withhold Social Security taxes from their
salary, such as some school systems and some local, State and
Federal government agencies.
-
Ticket to Work. Do
you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social
Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits? Thousands of SSI
and SSDI beneficiaries have learned how to stay in control of
their benefits while enriching their lives through employment.
You can join them by participating in a 90-minute Work Incentive
Seminar Event (WISE) Webinar to learn about available
incentives, including those offered through the Ticket to Work
program.
If you visit
www.socialsecurity.gov/webinars,
you’ll find all of the webinars instantly accessible. Any upcoming
webinars will be at the top of the page with information on the
date, time, and how to register to participate in the webinar live.
Once the webinar has taken place, it will be available for anyone to
revisit as a resource.
