MAFS conducts Social Security Benefits Workshop
MAFS conducted a public benefits workshop on 17th, November 2023 at its Naperville senior center. It was a presentation by Megan Forristall, a Public Affairs Specialist from the SSA office, who has 18 years of experience in the field. She patiently explained all the Social Security-related benefits, including Social Security retirement benefits, Social Supplemental Income, Medicare Part A and B, Extra Help with Part D Drugs, early Retirement Benefits, and Identity Theft and Social Security numbers. The presentation was a 120-minute-long interactive event, being translated live into Hindi by Megan’s colleague, Parul Kadia from the SSA office. We had about 90 Seniors and staff in attendance. It was an exceptionally valuable event that gave clarity to seniors about Social Security benefits and made them feel more confident in accessing them.
