Social Security Benefits

Social Security benefits are government payments designed to provide financial support to individuals, primarily seniors, who have contributed to the system through payroll taxes during their working years. In the context of Elder Law, these benefits can play a crucial role in securing financial stability for retirees, especially when planning for long-term care and other aging-related expenses. Social Security helps cover basic living costs, and understanding eligibility and benefits is essential for effective estate planning and ensuring adequate resources in later life.
