What is a Registered Social Security Analyst? (RSSA)

A RSSAs are an elite group of advisors trained to help Americans maximize their Social Security benefits. Registered Social Security Analysts have studied the complex laws and rules of Social Security – and have passed the national RSSA Competency Exam administered by the National Association of Registered Social Security Analysts. RSSAs provide benefit estimates by taking into consideration historical earnings, future assumptions, and conditions provided by the user to determine optimal Social Security benefit claiming dates and strategies.

RSSAs can help their clients receive tens of thousands of dollars or more in additional Social Security benefits. RSSAs are well-equipped to guide individuals through the complex considerations in their claiming strategies, providing advice and comfort. RSSAs help individuals and couples understand how to make decisions about when to retire, how to claim spousal benefits, and how to navigate Social Security regulations to maximize their benefits.

How it works:

Imagine someone who has worked tirelessly for decades, contributing to Social Security with each paycheck, looking forward to the day they can retire and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Now, picture this individual as they begin the journey of retirement, only to find the path is more complex and less clear than they ever anticipated. Surprisingly, less than 4% of retirees manage to claim all the Social Security benefits they deserve. Why is this the case? The answer lies in the complexity of Social Security itself and the lack of comprehensive guidance provided to retirees. Unfortunately, the government, stewards of this program, fall short in educating individuals about their full range of options. Therefore, most seniors, unaware of these options & strategies, miss out on maximizing their benefits. It’s almost as if Social Security claiming strategies could be deemed one of their best-kept secrets.

After spending a lifetime contributing to the system, isn't it only fair that they get the most out of it?

This is where my role as a Social Security Analysts becomes vital. I bridge this gap to ensure that retirees receive every penny they’re entitled to. In essence, I don’t just offer a service; I provide clarity and fairness, ensuring that the dedication of a lifetime’s work is fully honored in retirement. By filling this void in the market, I help turn the complex process of claiming Social Security benefits into a clear and navigable journey.
