The Social Security Administration Celebrates Single Working Women's Week August 2 - 8.

Single Working Women’s Week

Posted on August 3, 2015 by Phil Gambino, Assistant Deputy Commissioner, Communications

We have a longstanding commitment to meeting the distinct needs of the single, working woman. By better understanding your benefits as a single woman, you can capture more Social Security income over your lifetime, and we want to show you how.

Single Working Women’s week is August 2 – 8, and it’s the perfect time to create a my Social Security account. Creating a my Social Security  account gives you access to your personal online Social Security Statement. You work hard every day to build a secure financial future, and your downloadable Statement makes planning that much easier. Make sure your earnings are posted correctly, and find out how your future retirement is shaping up when you view your Statement. You owe it to yourself to be sure you are on the right financial path.
Having a strategic retirement plan already in place is important. Take advantage of the benefits of having a my Social Security account to form this plan. You can also gather additional tips from our fact sheet Social Security Is Important To Women, which offers snapshots on how to make the best decisions for your lifestyle.
Not only are women, in general, boosting their individual retirement savings, but over the past four decades, women are living longer. These facts reinforce the need to apply two key retirement principles: plan and save.
Take time to explore your financial and retirement options with us. The idea is to get the most from your benefits, and we’re here as a dedicated resource to assist you along the way.
