I recently did a couple of media interviews. One was a podcast and the other was a radio show. The hosts of both media outlets asked me essentially the same thing: “What are the most common questions people ask about Social Security?” As long as it’s fresh in my mind, I thought I'd turn those questions (and the answers, of course) into a column.
Many of the questions I’ve been getting recently have to do with the political side of Social Security—all the stuff going on in Washington. But I’ve written more than a few columns about those issues recently. So today I’m sticking with the much simpler and less volatile program or practical side of Social Security.
