I just finished reading the best book about Social Security that I have ever read. In just under 100 pages, the author explains everything you'd probably ever need to know about our nation’s bedrock social insurance program. If you are someone pushing retirement age who wants to know when and how to file for benefits, there is a chapter in the book for you.

Or, if you are a woman who is wondering what benefits you might be due on a husband’s, or ex-husband’s, or deceased husband’s Social Security record, there is a chapter in the book for you. Or, if you are someone with a physical or mental impairment wondering if you might be eligible for disability benefits, there is a chapter in the book for you. And there is so much more.
