Carleton, MI (PRWEB) May 01, 2014

Michigan based insurance agency, Schafer Agency, provides life insurance, disability insurance, annuities, IRAs, and other retirement planning programs to individuals across the state. Since May is National Social Security Education Month, the agency would like to release useful information to help individuals and families understand the intricacies of social security, retirement, disability, and more.

   •  Disability and long-term care insurance policies can help provide financial support to individuals who are unable to work due to a disability or chronic illness. These policies can provide essential financial assistance to patients and families in order to help cover the costs of medications, extended medical care, and other expenses.
   •  The Social Security Disability Program provides disability benefits to qualified, disabled individuals and their families. Eligibility is determined by the length of time a person has worked and paid Social Security taxes. In order to be sure of the specific guidelines and qualifications, it is best to contact the Social Security Department directly.
   •  The maximum Social Security benefit an individual receives upon retirement depends on several factors, including the person's age. Retirement programs such as IRAs or annuities can help provide further peace of mind and income after retirement. To learn more about these retirement planning options, contact Schafer Agency at 888-590-0075.
   •  There are four types of Medicare options, each has different requirements. Eligibility is contingent upon age, years worked, other benefits that have been received, and more. In order to have more complete coverage, individuals can purchase customized health insurance plans through their insurance agent which can help cover the costs of surgeries, prescriptions, medical exams, and a variety of other medical expenses.
