About Us
The Educational Association was established with a clear mission: to transform the way consumers engage with financial decisions—starting by educating the professionals who serve them.
In today’s financial landscape, consumers often purchase products that may not align with their long-term goals, largely due to a lack of understanding. Our goal is to bridge that gap by empowering individuals with the knowledge they need to make confident, informed decisions.
​
Our educational approach equips consumers with the right questions to ask, helping them take an active role in securing their financial future. While every retirement strategy must be personalized, there are critical areas that every individual must consider—such as income sources, Social Security benefits, and the risk levels within their investment portfolio. Yet before any of these decisions can be made effectively, one must first understand projected Medicare expenses.
This is where the Social Security Educational Advisor Certificate program plays a vital role.
This comprehensive program is designed to equip Financial Service Professionals with the tools to deliver an exceptional and educational client experience. By introducing a modern approach to financial education, we empower professionals to help clients better understand their current Medicare and Social Security options, and more importantly, to identify areas for optimization.
We begin with Medicare costs, as they directly influence decisions regarding income needs, when to claim Social Security, and how to structure an investment portfolio. These expenses can vary significantly depending on plan selection and personal circumstances. Without a clear understanding of Medicare costs, it is impossible to accurately estimate how much income will be required in retirement, or how to optimize a broader financial strategy.
Once we establish a clear understanding of Medicare-related expenses, we turn to Social Security—which can be viewed as a personal pension. It is guaranteed, not subject to market risk, and lasts for life. Understanding your Social Security benefit amount is essential—not only to know what you’ll receive, but to determine what portion of your income needs it will cover. Maximizing this benefit can reduce the pressure on other retirement assets and increase long-term financial security.
​
The Social Security Educational Advisor Certificate program is structured to elevate the consumer’s learning experience while giving professionals the tools needed to guide clients through these critical topics.
Upon completion, certificate holders are prepared to help individuals navigate the complexities of Medicare and Social Security, while uncovering additional financial planning opportunities.
As a Social Security Educational Advisor certificate holder, you’ll be well-positioned to answer key questions, initiate meaningful conversations, and help clients take greater ownership of their retirement planning. These engagements often open the door to broader discussions about retirement income, tax strategies, and risk management—leading to solutions that help secure your client’s financial future.
