Event Summary
Social Security, which provides lifetime income and disability and life insurance benefits that protect families, is crucial for the retirement security of Americans. Our upcoming symposium will convene policy makers and researchers actively working on Social Security reform research and legislation. Our focus will be preserving and enhancing benefits to improve retirement security, specifically for groups who have no access to other retirement savings or have not accumulated sufficient retirement savings.
