Questions about Medicare or Social Security? Find answers Saturday at Aging Well event

Sept. 12--Whether you're about to retire or a longtime Medicare policyholder, you know that understanding your benefits can be confusing.

What is Part D? Which Medigap insurance plan best fits your needs? When should you start taking your Social Security benefits?

Experts will be answering those questions and more Saturday in Coral Gables at an information session hosted by the Miami Herald and moderated by Miami Herald Business Editor Jane Wooldridge. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions as well.

The event begins at 9 a.m. with a few minutes to relax before the program starts at 9:30. It will be held at the Coral Gables Adult Activities Center, 2 Andalusia Avenue. Attendees can valet for free across the street at The Palace.
