Social Security 101: maximize your benefits

Employees can learn about Social Security benefits during “Social Security 101: everything you wanted to know,” a free workshop for Loma Linda University Health faculty and staff presented by the Social Security Administration.

The following sessions will take place for employees of any entity to choose from:

The workshops will be led by Teresa Campbell, California inland area public affairs specialist for the Social Security Administration. She has worked with the agency for more than 25 years in both technical and supervisory roles.

During the workshops, which are offered to Loma Linda University Health employees at no charge, participants will learn:

  • How early retirement will affect their benefits
  • Whether they qualify for disability, survivors or spouse benefits
  • How to maximize their benefits
