Money Talks

Money Talks: SSA.gov

We’ve got a guest on the show who has a very particular set of skills, skills he has acquired over a very long career, skills that make him . . . a fantastic guest for Money Talks. District Manager for Social Security, Shawn Mercer. Shawn answers social  security questions while Nancy and Ryder take personal finance questions. 


  • Many questions can be answered from information found on the Social Security website: https://www.ssa.gov/

On the SSA website you can also find information about Emergency Assistance for Homeowners and Renters. If you’re a renter, a homeowner, or landlord look through their information to see if you qualify for help.

  • That national phone number is 1-800-772-1213 if you need to call or call your local SSA office.

Consider following Social Security on social media. There are tweets about current events, protecting your identity, and reminders on what Social Security is all about. 


Calls:

  • how much can you make after your retire
  • outstanding debt to Social Security
  • what to know / when to retire
  • why go to the office?
  • back to work after disability
  • nursing home
