Description

After a decade of historic growth, America’s aging workforce has been blindsided by the unprecedented disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The combination of layoffs and/or severe volatility in the financial markets has forced many to rethink their retirement plans… and the Social Security & Medicare filing decisions upon which those plans are often built.

This fast-paced, engaging presentation looks at the Social Security & Medicare basics that are in play for older employees, then explores some of the specific challenges that have emerged as this group attempts to navigate the unique, and often complex, eligibility and enrollment landscape where retirement & healthcare benefits intersect with Social Security & Medicare.

This program offers valuable content for HR professionals of all levels, and can be of personal interest to older HR professionals approaching retirement themselves.
