Social Security Fact Sheet Now Available
 
 
In keeping with our normal practice, we've once again posted the
official version of Social Security's Fact Sheet for 2022
[link removed]
in the Archives section of our Social Security Report website. This
document, produced by the Social Security Administration each October,
illustrates the basic parameters associated with Social Security for
the coming year, including the following:
* The cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) effective in January
* The payroll tax rates for the coming year (these don't change, so
this is simply a reminder)
* The maximum earnings on which these rates are levied
* The earnings that add up to a quarter of coverage for Social
Security eligibility
* For those drawing benefits but under full retirement age, the
earnings limits to avoid benefits being withheld
* Social Security Disability thresholds
* Standard amounts for Supplemental Security Insurance payments, as
well as the applicable resource limits and student exclusions
In addition, the document illustrates the average monthly Social
Security benefits paid to various beneficiary categories, showing the
averages before and after application of the 2022 COLA.
Note that the Archives section of this website also contains the most
recent Social Security Trustees Reports, in detailed and summary
formats. For anyone wanting an in-depth look at what's happening in
the world of Social Security, this is an information-packed set of
documents.

AMAC Foundation Agrees to Assist in Recruiting for Dementia
Caregivers Study
 
 
The subject of dementia -- in all its forms -- is of considerable
importance to our constituency. As evidenced by the events we've
offered via our seminar series, we've taken steps to bring helpful
content on this subject to the folks we interact with. For example,
the multi-part series we provided earlier this year in partnership
with the Alzheimer's Association, as well as our webinar sessions
covering medical viewpoints on dementia and related issues.
In late October, the University of California San Diego's School of
Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, asked us to assist in the search
for participants in a study on the subject of caring for family
members with Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Lewy Body
dementia, or any other type of dementia. In view of the constituency
we serve, we are pleased to lend a hand to this important initiative,
which takes the form of a study aiming to help address the stressors
that come with being a caregiver. The study will work through
internet-based caregiver programs designed to teach coping skills that
may reduce caregiver stress or improve emotional well-being. In
addition, the study provides access to web-programs for up to 15
months, monetary compensation for participation, 6 support calls, and
feedback about participants' progress throughout the study.

Sudden Death Series Continuing Its Popularity
 
 
The 26th edition of our highly acclaimed "Sudden Death: Are You
Prepared" notebook series program, scheduled to start Monday November
8, is completely subscribed, so we've made arrangement for a session
to begin Wednesday, January 12, 2022. The second and third segments
will be held on successive Wednesdays, January 19 and January 26. All
January sessions will take place at the Lady Lake Library, 225 West
Guava Street, Lady Lake. Check the website listing for this program

For those readers unfamiliar with this program, its objective is to
help ensure that survivors are prepared to deal with the aftermath of
a loved one's death, guiding attendees through the creation of a
"Survivor Notebook" to help survivors cope after the death of a spouse
or key family member. Reservations for these sessions are limited due
to physical space limitations and the need for intense interaction
with presenters, and partial attendance at the three sessions is
discouraged. To register for the January series, contact the
Foundation office at 888-750-2622 or via email at
