CLIENT TESTIMONIALS I wanted to thank Jerry and Lucy Spielman of city news for the incredible impact their magazine has provided my business. City news has provided incredible exposure to the city of coral springs/ Coconut creek and Boca Raton. I can attribute over 200k in commissions earned as a result of city news. Thank you for guidance and friendship. Forever a client. - Russell Cohen Murphy Business brokers (2 full pages in every magazine)

Our law firm has been advertising in all 3 CITY NEWS magazines for quite some time. Besides being a pleasure to work with, we average between 15-20 leads/ month with up to 6 new clients monthly. The magazine works for us.We love it. - Naomi Cabrera (Renfeld & Cabrera Law Firm)

My company decided to spend some of our marketing budget with Boca’s best and we are very happy that we did. On our very first entry, we were able to produce almost $9,000 in additional revenue, and we are still working with clients that will increase that number. When you work with Jerry, you get a straight shooter, all kinds of pleasant surprises, and someone who responds quickly, listens to what you are saying, and simply runs a professional operation. Actions speak louder than words: we committed long term to Boca’s Best because we like Jerry, but most importantly because we are extremely happy with what the magazine has done for our business! (We have been in many magazine, T.V ads, internet, Facebook and more. This was a winner!) - Fred Steinberg The Facility For Training Boca Raton (Now takes the front cover every other month)

Boca’s Best Magazine with Jerry and Lucy give from the heart! Non-Profits mean so much to this couple! They are effervescent and bubble over with joy just trying to do their very best to promote NonProfits in dire need seeking assistance to stay alive. Their magazine promotes so many and this catches the eye of the reader instantly. It is obvious that their generosity in their publications open up to stress vital information which seeks to inform the reader of a necessity for their support! I highly recommend all to consider giving your TIME, TALENT AND TREASURE as Jerry and Lucy do each day to make a difference! - Rosemary and Ben Krieger

Summer Heat May Bring Health Problems

We’re Open.

Summer’s warmer temperatures and longer days give us more opportunities to be outside enjoying ourselves. As the temperatures rise and the humidity soars, you may start hearing the weather stations talk about the “heat index.” A heat index tells the temperature your body feels when the actual air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. This means that if the temperature outside is 90º F, and the humidity is 70 percent, then it feels like 105 º F. This combination of heat and humidity makes it harder for your body to cool itself by giving off heat. As a result, your body’s internal temperature will rise, and heatrelated illnesses might result. Older adults, young children, and those who are sick or overweight are most likely to develop problems due to heat, but anyone can have a heat-related illness.

Stages of Heat Illnesses For most people, there are warning signs that the heat is beginning to affect you. The first signs may be muscle cramps in your stomach, arms or legs, swelling in your feet, legs and ankles and dizziness or feeling faint. If you notice these early signs of heat illnesses, here are some steps you can take: • Stop any physical activity and move to a cooler, shady area. • Drink plenty of fluids, but avoid drinks containing alcohol or caffeine. • Put your legs up if you notice swelling or feel dizzy. Heat exhaustion is the second stage of heat illness. This means that your body can’t keep itself cool. Symptoms may include thirst, dizziness, weakness, lack of coordination, nausea and profuse sweating. Your body temperature will be normal, but your skin will feel cold and clammy.

Emergency care that’s convenient, open 24/7and in your neighborhood.

IT’S TIME TO RETHINK EMERGENCY CARE.

The final stage is heat stroke, which requires immediate emergency care. This is a life-threatening illness where your body can’t regulate its temperature by sweating. If this occurs, your temperature rises so high that brain damage or death may occur. During heat stroke, your internal temperature may reach 106 º F within 10 to 15 minutes. The warning signs of heat stroke include: • Body temperature of 103 º F or more • Skin that is red, hot and dry • Lack of sweating • Throbbing headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Mental confusion • Unconsciousness

Where do you go for emergency care when you need it, even at 8:14pm? Emergency Center in Coconut Creek, an extension of West Boca Medical Center’s Emergency Department. We’re dedicated exclusively to emergency care, 24/7. Our conveniently located, neighborhood-style center is staffed by Board Certified emergency room physicians and offers high-quality care with the ability to handle the same serious conditions as other emergency rooms – right here in your community.

Anyone with these symptoms should be taken immediately to the closest emergency facility. Call 9-1-1 for emergency assistance and start trying to cool the person until help arrives.

Prevention Is Best You can prevent most problems with heat illnesses. Stay indoors during the heat of the day and limit your exposure to the sun. Drink plenty of fluids, especially those that don’t contain alcohol or caffeine. Eat light, well-balanced meals. Wear loosefitting, lightweight clothing. Most importantly, avoid strenuous activities such as exercise during the middle of the day. The Emergency Center at Coconut Creek is available 24-hours a day to get you and your family back on track for summer fun. If your condition is not urgent, avoid an unnecessary wait and check in to our ER online at westbocamedctr.com/ emergencycenter.

Pamper your pet with a loving home away from home at ‘Camp Canine’ By Nicol JeNkiNs

rom the moment your pet walks through the door, the staff at Camp Canine makes them feel right at home.

Pet owners will not have to fret about their beloved furry friend! The luxury pet daycare and lodging boutique offers a home away from home. Since 2000, Camp Canine has been providing only the best quality services for your pet from professional grooming and supervised cage less doggy daycare, to high quality pet accessories and a one-of-a-kind dog and cat lodging experience. Jennifer Heider opened the Margate location to provide these vital services to local pet owners. “Camp Canine is a great alternative to having your pet stuck in the house all day. We provide socialization in a supervised and safe environment,” said Jennifer. Unlike a sterile kennel or a scary veterinary office, Camp Canine offers a pet friendly atmosphere with separate climate controlled play rooms for small and large dogs, a large, turfed, fenced outdoor play area, luxury boarding suites for longer stays where you can use Skype to check on your pet, cat condos, and a relaxing spa and grooming area. The staff spends time going over each new pet’s history and personality with their owner, and all new dogs undergo a temperament test before being allowed to socialize. Camp Canine provides skilled, full-service grooming for all breeds as well as many additional services including baths, nail filing, teeth brushing, massages, facials and more! Customize your pet’s latest style or consult with their professional stylist to help you decide what will make Fifi or Fido look their best. You can also pamper your pup or feline with pet accessories from couture beds and “pawfume” to a fancy pet stroller or a champagne shaped toy. If a pet owner can’t drop their dog off or pick them up in time, the staff at Camp Canine can assist with transportation.

“The Camp Canine brand focuses on luxury and specializes in pampered pets. We offer high quality services and want our customers and their pets to feel special,” added Jennifer. Their staff takes extra time to spoil your pet every day, but also have themed events that sometimes include a keepsake for you, too. In addition, Camp Canine has weekly specials on different services and produces a monthly newsletter. “Our staff treats your dog or cat like family. We want them to feel at home,” said Jennifer. That was what the owner was searching for when she had her first puppy Alice. “I wanted to find somewhere to take my dog while I was at work, somewhere where she was supervised but having fun, instead of being trapped in the house by herself.” Jennifer discovered one of the Camp Canine facilities and the rest is history. After taking her dogs to the daycare and experiencing the benefits for herself, she decided to get in the business. “Dogs coming here get spoiled and are very loved. Camp Canine is a happy place to be. It’s very rewarding being able to see all the happy pets and their owners,” she said. “‘Pets first!’ is our number one rule. We want our customers to feel comfortable to leave their pets with us.” If you are looking for a safe yet fun place to leave your best friend for a day or a month, search no further than Camp Canine in Margate. *Transportation assistance available to a limited radius, by appointment only. Camp Canine is open seven days a week and is located at 3197 N. State Rd 7 (PennDutch Plaza) Margate, FL 33063. For more information, call 954.971.0007 or e-mail margate@campcanineflorida.com.

‘Reading with Friends’ Creates Lasting Friendships By Nicol JeNkiNs

eading can open doors to another world and enhance further academic success for many children. Though all children deserve the opportunity to enjoy literacy, children with special needs may be excluded from reading programs due to a variety of factors. That is no longer the case. The Friendship Initiative, which develops programs to enable children with special needs and typical children to learn from each other and connect as friends, has started a new program called Reading with Friends. Created by certified speech-language pathologist Samantha Novick, Reading with Friends pairs children of all abilities with local student volunteers to break down barriers and make reading fun. They will meet once a month on Sundays at The North Regional/ Broward College Library, located at 1100 Coconut Creek Blvd., Coconut Creek. “The mission is to create a more inclusive and accepting environment that allows children of all abilities to enjoy literacy while building friendships,” said Novick, Vice President of Operations at The Friendship Initiative. As a speech-language pathologist, Novick has seen the challenges for some children with special needs when it comes to reading. “I often work with children who are inadvertently excluded from activities like reading groups and story time because of the current barriers that exist. These barriers include prolonged sitting time, reduced opportunities for participation, and a lack of understanding from the community,” said Novick. “Research shows that literacy skills are critical for language and academic success. It didn’t seem fair that the clients I treated, and others like them, might not have the same opportunities that I did when I was growing up. I wanted to create a reading program for children of all abilities.” The reading program will benefit all involved. The program not only assists the children with special needs, but also promotes personal growth and a greater perspective for the student volunteers. The program strives to benefit the families of the participants as well, who can find comfort in knowing that an inclusive, literacy-enriched environment exists for their children. “Every participant will be paired with the same volunteer

She finds it gratifying to be able to make a difference in the children’s lives. “I am fortunate to have a very rewarding career that enables me to work with these wonderful individuals and their families. I love giving back to them -- and they have given so much to me. Knowing that I have this opportunity to make a difference, it’s very fulfilling,” she said.

throughout the session to build friendships, break down barriers and reduce perceived differences. The program will focus on exploring books through all of their senses. For the participants, we want to make reading a fun experience and immerse them in the community. The program is also impacting the families and helping them enjoy inclusive environments for their children,” added Novick.

“Varicose Veins are more than skin deep”

BY RACHEL GALVIN

ur body does so much day in and day out, and most of that work goes unseen. Our veins have an important job, carrying our blood back and forth to our heart only to be pumped out again. As we age, this daily toil can become more apparent as veins reveal themselves like road maps, especially on our legs. When they become deeper and wider, such as the case of varicose veins, that is when it can be cause for concern. Not only can varicose veins be unsightly, but they also can be a signal that something else is happening within the body to cause them. Each vein has a tiny valve that helps it do its job, but there can be leaks and the valve can malfunction causing the blood to back up and the vein to bulge. Sometimes, having varicose veins can mean the person with them has cardiovascular problems. Many people will seek out a doctor to get rid of the unsightly veins, but sometimes the doctor they consult with is more of a plastic surgeon or dermatologist and does not probe deeper to understand the root cause of the issue. But Dr. Ariel Soffer, M.D., FACC, knows “varicose veins are more than skin deep.” He is board certified in cardiovascular disease and, for over 20 years, he has focused his practice on aspects of the cardiovascular system, especially varicose veins. According to company spokesperson Adam Kustin, people who have issues with their veins often complain of achy legs or numbness, among other symptoms. In order to ascertain the underlying problem, patients who come into our office undergo an ultrasound. “You and I can walk in and both have the same degree of problems with our veins] and there is no way to tell [the underlying issue] based on the surface,” says Kustin. “It is important to see a doctor.”

sclerotherapy, we inject a saline solution and the blood is magically redirected. It depends on the severity,” he says. “The laser is super accurate and highly effective. It is a low risk procedure.” Compression socks might be used in recovery as well, Kustin adds.

He said that one of the big culprits is inactivity. “When you are on your feet eight to 12 hours a day, not moving ... inactivity is the biggest culprit, or sitting with legs crossed...It also can be genetic,” he says. Mr. Kustin explained that exercising and elevating your legs periodically will help with blood flow. He also recommended compression socks, which he said act like a reverse funnel redirecting blood to the heart. Also weight management is important. The procedure to fix varicose veins can be relatively simple. Most procedures involve closing the vein, sometimes repairing it. “If it is a secondary or tertiary vein, we can close it up; a laser heats it and clamps it shut. If we do

Besides working with veins, The Soffer Health Institute also handle other cardiovascular issues, including primary care, everything from allergies to working with weight management. They work with senior care and also have a concierge service, which allows patients basically to “pay for play,” getting special services like having no wait time, obtaining greater access to the doctor, getting an annual physical and more. Dr. Soffer also keeps his staff up-to-date with the latest medical developments and shares his knowledge on an ABC News Health segment called “Dr. Soffer’s Second Opinion,” and elsewhere. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CALL

954.900.9248 Soffer Health Institute began in Aventura and now there are several locations, including one in Deerfield Beach at 1877 W. Hillsboro Blvd. They plan to open a Weston location next. Members of the staff speaks Spanish, Russian, Hebrew, Creole and Portuguese. For more information, call 305-792-0555 or visit www.sofferhealth.com.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

BY ALAN J. REINDFELD, ESQ

Is the future of Estate Planning Electronic Wills?

ecently, the Florida Legislature passed an Electronic Wills Act, allowing for both electronic Wills and also changing the notarization statute by allowing electronic notarization. It is important to note that this Act was not proposed into law by the Florida Bar Real Property, Probate, and Trust Section. This law was introduced by a Technology Firm called Willing. This Bill was vetoed by Governor Scott, but it provides an interesting perspective on the future of Estate Planning. A Last Will & Testament has several formalities, including: a will must be in writing, signed by the testator (person creating the Last Will & Testament), and witnessed by at least two people. The testator must has testamentary capacity to make the Will. The Real Probate, Trust, and Law Society of the Florida Bar came out against this Bill for several reasons, but most especially the act of witnessing a Will signing via remote web camera technology, instead of having a physical presence. The problem with this is if a person is of diminished capacity (dementia, Alzheimer’s, or easily manipulated), it would be very difficult to discover if that person had been influenced prior to the signing, despite the safeguard questions that were added to the statute. This Bill would have also radically changed the notarization statutes, in allowing electronic notarizations. When I talk with a person creating estate planning documents, I always engage them in conversation for a decent amount of time. While I enjoy

small talk, this is more to establish a baseline on if the person is competent or not, if they have the capacity to make documents, and if they have been unduly influenced or not. If a person is distributing unequally to beneficiaries, this becomes more important. This is something that would not carry over with the Electronic Wills Act. There were numerous other minor issues with the Act’s electronic storage, as well as recording the Last Will & Testament. Today, Wills are almost electronic documents. All of my Clients’ Estate Planning documents are stored electronically, and we provide an electronic copy to our Clients if asked. The Uniform Law Commission is currently studying Electronic Wills, and when appropriate, will make a recommendation including bringing Estate Planning into the 21st century. Until that time, I believe that Governor Scott’s veto was the best way from preventing a rush into electronic Wills before adequate safeguards have been established.

Your Pets Will Love Us, We “Shih-Tzu” Not!

• Don’t forget your pet’s ID. Microchipping your pet is one of the most effective ways to ensure he or she can be reunited with you if lost. Combine it with on-collar identification tags and a GPS pet tracker, such as Whistle 3, which lets owners track their pets wherever their travels take them. • Make sure your pet is comfy on road trips. It’s important to introduce your pet to your car slowly before embarking on a long adventure. You can also bring your pet’s favorite toys, blankets or bed to help him or her feel more at ease. If your pet is still uneasy in the car, your veterinarian can provide options like essential oils, over-thecounter supplements or, if needed, prescriptions. • Don’t forget the treats. While traveling, make sure your pet has healthy treats for the long ride. Treats such as Greenies and Pedigree Dentastix promote fresh breath and clean teeth for dogs. For treats your cat will love, try Temptations, which offers tasty treats in multiple flavors. “Pets make our lives healthier, safer and happier, and owners should take the time to plan properly before heading out on the road with their pets to ensure a fun, safe and comfortable trip for all,” Stewart said. “Pets are part of the family and we want them to enjoy the trip as much as we do in order to have more opportunities to introduce them to new experiences and places.”

Coral Springs Vice Mayor Dan Daley By Dale King

oral Springs City Commissioner and Vice Mayor Dan Daley has been kicking around the political arena a lot longer than most people his age – 27.

“One of my favorite things is to visit schools and talk to students. I ask them if they feel they are affected by government. Most of them raise their hands and say ‘no.’ Then, I ask them, ‘Do you have a driver’s license? You got that from government. You have to pay for gasoline, which means you have to pay taxes on it.’”

“I’ve always been interested,” said Daley during an interview in City Hall. First elected to the City Commission in November 2012, to fill the unexpired term of a member who resigned, Daley was reelected without opposition in 2014. He received the title of vice mayor in November 2015 and was reappointed a year later.

He hopes the message sinks in. A resident of Coral Springs since 2001, he attended local public schools, including Coral Springs Middle School, Westglades Middle School and Stoneman Douglas High School before heading off to college. He is currently commissioner liaison to the Coral Springs Charter School Advisory Committee, among other panels.

A lawyer by trade, Daley is a graduate of Florida State University, with cum laude honors for a bachelor’s degree in political science and criminology. He was the first in his family to graduate from college. At FSU, he served with the US Air Force as a contracted cadet with the Reserve Officer Training Corps. He has also been involved with several charities that support soldiers currently serving in the armed forces, as well as their families. He also served more than 10 years with the Civil Air Patrol, the US Air Force Auxiliary.

Vitally interested in economic development, he serves on a committee that deals with that sector. Daley is also very happy that Coral Springs’ first “downtown” is beginning to develop at the corner of Sample Road and University Drive.

Daley received his juris doctorate from Nova Southeastern University’s Shepard Broad College of Law. He is a member of the Florida Bar and is currently a practicing attorney in the Fort Lauderdale office of Shutts & Bowen LLP.

A plan for downtown development has been gathering dust for years. “It’s older than I am,” he said. Helping to get that effort back on track is a new city hall now under construction, practically across the street from the current municipal center on Sample Road. City offices are currently in two buildings, and Daley, looking up from his chair, said, “This one is ready to fall down.”

The future politician was brought into The new city center is apparently giving the government sphere as an intern with life to other commercial efforts. “The city former State Rep.

SOCIAL SECURITY – JUST THE BASICS While the viability of our Social Security system continues to be called into question, retirees and soon to be retirees, need to understand what their rights and benefits are. The Social Security program provides a basic living standard to millions of American, while providing some return for more affluent participants who have paid significant dollars into the system over their working lives. The Social Security website, its publications, and numerous accountants and financial advisors are great sources of information on the system and how to maximize benefits. Because of the myriad of rules and complexities in claiming benefits, it is imperative that claimants educate themselves about what alternatives are best for them. In future columns we will address some of the Social Security issues facing soon to be retirees and provide specifics on what issues need to be explored before making a final determination. For now, the basics. The Social Security program is a critical safety net for millions of Americans. The benefits supplement private individual retirement programs, disability programs, and in certain cases death benefit programs. The U.S. Social Security Administration administers the program for millions of participants. During our working lives we pay significant monies into the Social Security system, as do our employers. However, to qualify for benefits, we generally have to work for at least ten (10) years, that is forty (40) quarters, to be eligible for retirement benefits. Your basic Social Security benefit is based upon your highest thirty-five (35) years of earnings. So if you actually work for only forty (40) quarters, for the remaining quarters up to thirty-five (35) years, your earnings calculation is based upon zero earnings. The Social Security Administration makes available to all wage earners an annual earnings statement, which you can secure from their website if you do not receive one by mail, that shows what your earnings are and projects your benefits. This statement indicates what your benefit might be if you claim it early or at full retirement age. Some important things to note: 1. The annual retirement benefit calculation is based upon a maximum taxable wage base for each year. Therefore, even if your income exceeds the maximum wage base, your benefits will be limited to a calculation based on this number for each applicable year. 2. If you retire before full retirement age and continue to work, you will lose one dollar in Social Security for every two dollars you earn over a specified amount. 3. You may be eligible for different types of benefits, but you can only collect under one category at a time. For example, if you worked and paid Social Security taxes for more than ten (10) years, you will have your own worker’s benefit. If you are married, you may be eligible for a spousal benefit. In addition, if your spouse dies, you may be eligible for a survivor benefit. It is important to properly plan when to start receiving benefits, so as to claim the maximum benefit under either of these three (3) alternatives.

ituated between the crystalline waves of the Atlantic Ocean and the tranquil waterways of the Intracoastal lies the Diplomat Beach Resort. At the very heart of Hollywood, FL, the freshly renovated hotel allures travelers near and far as it captures the ebullient spirit of South Florida. Whether for business or for leisure, all guests gather to this iconic hotel for the unforgettable experiences that embodies the character of the Diplomat Beach Resort. From the 1,000 reimagined guestrooms scaling 39 floors to the numerous redesigned eclectic restaurants, the Diplomat’s $100 million transformation further brings the resort effervescent and sea-accented atmosphere to life. The beautiful changes, although dramatic, still echo the hotel’s proud roots; roots that kindled and nurtured the experiential spirit of the Diplomat into what it is widely known as today, a destination for play and for comfort. “We are excited to introduce a revolutionary way to vacation through the introduction of the newly redesigned Diplomat Beach Resort. We have created a destination for all travelers, offering unparalleled experiences through [specially designed] programming, dining destinations, and spaces meant for celebrations,” said Shai Zelering, Managing Director and Head of Asset Management at Thayer Lodging Group, Brookfield Hotel Properties, the owner of the resort. “The Diplomat Beach Resort is now the area’s go-to resort, bringing locals and travelers together at the epicenter of Hollywood, FL, to indulge in specialty services and amenities rooted in local inspiration with impeccable designs.” City News Publishers Jerry and Lucy Spielman this past month had the honored opportunity to enjoy these new offerings at the Diplomat Beach Resort. “As soon as we walked through the door, we were welcomed by the friendly staff. Our guide was especially accommodating as she was happy to guide us around the all-inclusive resort. The Diplomat Beach Resort treated us like royalty in both their impeccable service and exemplary cuisine. Their distinct features are both lush and plentiful as they make a great weekend getaway or extended stay for travelers near and far.” Although there are certainly many, perhaps one of the most significant features of the expansive hotel is its unmatched variety of amenities for “happy, genuine, and memorable vacation experiences”. Throughout the lavishly adorned beachfront resort, are two grand pools overlooking the serene landscapes of the Atlantic, opportunities for paddle boarding and kayaking along the soothing waters of the ocean, and an all-inclusive 24-hour fitness center paired with a full-service spa that exudes relaxation. “Following a brief run at the gym, I entertained myself with a visit to the spa.

What really sets this spa apart is how well the staff orchestrated the whole experience. I felt as though I were their only client, despite the fact that they were also taking care of other people. Everything from the vibrant oceanfront views to the attentive staff provided for a spa worthy of the highest accolades,” says Lucy Spielman. Although the adults are certainly entertained with a wide expanse of activities whether they are stopping by the Hotel Bar for a modern take on internationally inspired cocktails or speeding along the shores on a jet ski, the Diplomat also offers numerous activities for the active youngster. From sand castle building and poolside games to bounce houses and behind-the-scenes resort tours, younger guests ages 4-12 are always delighted and supervised at the fun-filled, Diplomat Kids Club. Guests may come for the warm sun kissed weather and calming ocean breeze, but they will certainly stay for the food. Now offering 10 innovative and enticing eateries, the Diplomat Beach Resort has become one of South Florida’s most prominent culinary destinations. The extensive range of restaurants are driven by world class chefs from Geoffrey Zakarian and his carefully curated Coastal American cuisine at Point Royal to Monkitail, celebrity chef Michael Schulson’s take on the Japanese izakaya concept. Schulson’s restaurant seems to particularly be a crowd favorite as Lucy describes her meal as “an unforgettable

After an illustrious day of eating and exploring at the Diplomat, guests may choose to unwind resting upon the silken sand to the pacifying lull of the Atlantic or they can choose a different route and liven up the night with some soulful karaoke. Hidden behind the dimly lit glass lanterns and wooden beams lies Nokku, the hidden karaoke bar. Nokku features numerous private rooms that offer small parties the opportunities for their most spirited renditions of their favorite songs. The rooms are also soundproof (probably for the better) so everyone is free to sing to their heart’s content. Whether guests are giving it their all in a stirring performance of “Don’t Stop Believin’” or simply admiring from the sidelines, Nokku is sure to delight. Jerry Spielman, a frequent visitor at the Diplomat Beach Resort in his teenage years is nothing short of amazed by the vacation destination the hotel has come to be. “I am simply overwhelmed and impressed by the new renovations. The Diplomat truly captures the vivacious spirit of South Florida and has really put itself back on the map. People often travel the world seeking the idyllic vacation destination, but with the Diplomat, it is all here right in our backyard.” www.ciTynewSMAGAzine.coM

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 25 4. Social Security benefits are subject to inflation adjustments. 5. I am sure you have heard that it might pay to delay claiming benefits. The longer you delay, additional retirement credits of up to 7% or 8% for each year you delay accrue. These additional accruals cease after age seventy (70). However, if you do continue to work, you can increase your overall retirement benefit if your annual earnings are such that they eliminate zero or low earning years in favor of higher earning years. Significant planning in this area is required. 6. If you are divorced or a widow, and your marriage lasted ten (10) years or more, you may be eligible to receive significant Social Security benefits. If you are at least age sixty-two (62) and are unmarried, you may be able to claim a benefit based upon your ex-spouse’s record. When you make such a claim, your ex-spouse is not notified and your benefit is paid directly to you. 7. Other benefits available under the Social Security system are surviving child benefits, parent’s benefits, lump sum death benefits and special veteran’s benefits. Disability benefits are also provided to disabled workers and family, the needy, blind, or disabled widower or surviving divorced spouse.

8. Hospital and supplementary medical insurance may also be available. 9. Under the supplemental security income system, cash assistance may be available for the aged, blind and disabled. State supplements to this system may also be available in the form of Medicaid and food stamps. 10. Medicare benefits are available to individuals who have reached age sixtyfive (65), and for certain persons under age sixty-five (65) who receive specified benefits or have certain conditions. The Medicare program consists of several parts. Part A is hospital insurance, Part B medical insurance, Part C covers Medicare Advantage Plans, which cover all or part of deductibles under certain private plans providing the same services as the Part A and Part B programs. Part D is the prescription drug plan. It is essential to timely file for Medicare benefits even if they are not immediately going to be used. If you miss the enrollment window, it can create long term costs that cannot be reversed. 11. Social Security benefits may be subject to Federal income tax. Up to 85% of Social Security benefits are included in your Federal taxable income depending upon your adjusted gross income. This quick tutorial has been short on details and specifics. I will provide more on a topic by topic basis in upcoming columns. Hopefully, after reading this column, you will appreciate the importance of understanding your rights under our Social Security system. After the next few columns, I am certain you will be better able to prepare for your future. This article provides generalized tax and financial information for educational purposes only.
