Social Security Advisory Service Going Strong
 
 
Our six-member staff of Advisors is continuing to provide a popular
and critical service to constituents aging into Social Security
eligibility, those having questions about their participation in the
program, or those just plain interested in understanding how the
program works. In fact, we anticipate that later this month we will
reach another substantial milestone in the level of service to AMAC
members and to the public...25,000 counseling sessions provided to
folks desperate for guidance on this critical program. The
significance of this lies in the trajectory, since it took 51 months
from the point we launched the service in 2016 to reach 10,000, then
only 20 months to reach the 20,000 level, and now less than a year to
surpass 25,000.
Numbers are one thing, and while they do serve to quantify the demand
we're handling, we also focus on the quality of the service we
provide. The quality assurance program we operate tells us we're
hitting the mark in that regard, with 97% of those we surveyed
reporting complete satisfaction with the service provided, and the
remaining 3% indicating they were at least partially satisfied. In
addition, 100% of the respondents report complete satisfaction with
the speed in which their inquiry was handled. What makes these
statistics even more rewarding is the fact that we realize a response
rate of over 50% on our surveys...a response rate far beyond what most
similar surveys can expect to achieve.
Beyond the numbers, we are also gratified by the comments we receive
from those we've helped. Here's a sampling of some that are
particularly expressive:
* Thank you for the most concise and clear explanation I have
received to-date regarding Social Security. This info will definitely
affect my decisions going forward. I plan on taking advantage of some
of the resources on your website. I will also be sharing this
organization with numerous friends who have also experienced Social
Security confusion.
* I wanted to tell you how great the SS Advisory team is. They go
above and beyond to assist you with the information you need in a
timely manner. In addition to that, the team follows up to make sure
they have answered all your questions. The Advisory team is the best
resource that I have ever seen, and they should be recognized for all
they do.
* As always, your prompt, kind, and accurate information is so truly
appreciated. I can't thank you enough for helping guide us through
this process. You are indeed a Godsend! Thank you, thank you, and
thank you!
* You are indeed gifted with the talent of making complex things
clear and concise. You have helped my wife and I in this transitional
process with a peace of mind going into this pivotal time of our
lives.

ATTENTION SHOPPERS! You can help the Foundation!
 
 
Just in case you're starting some early Christmas shopping, we want
to remind you of a way you can help us cover some of the cost of the
services we provide to the public. As we reported before, many of our
readers are aware of Amazon Smile, the online retailing giant's
approach to generating revenue for charitable organizations. So, we're
again shining a light on this opportunity by doing whatever we can to
remind folks of this simple way to help finance the Foundation's
growth. We're not actually advertising on behalf of Amazon - we don't
do that for any vendor - but for those who shop on Amazon anyway, it's
a painless way to support our Foundation.
AmazonSmile - You shop. Amazon gives. When you shop at
smile.amazon.com, Amazon donates to your favorite charity.

you shop at Amazon, and they'll do the rest, contributing 0.5% of the
purchase price to our Amac Foundation.

The issue of selecting an assisted living facility for yourself or
someone you care for is an extremely important topic for so many of

one faces when starting to think about the issue, our public seminar

to consider when facing this task. The session will be conducted by
