"Carl Battle has put together a comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide to accessing our country's most fundamental social safety net. Millions of Americans pay into our country's Social Security system, but how many of us know how to access it when we need it Whether you are near retirement, living with a disability, or have suffered the devastating loss of a loved one, understanding how Social Security works and how to unlock its benefits is crucial. I found this book to be insightful, and think it will be a helpful tool to many of my constituents and many others."--Jamie R. Gauthier, Philadelphia City Council Member

"Social Security for Everyone is a comprehensive compendium of information regarding the often confusing topic of social security benefits. This book provides, in one place, not only answers to frequently asked questions, but it also gives cogent advice regarding the planning of retirement and the use of the social security benefit as just one element of potential financial retirement independence. A treasure trove of facts, including actual government documents, this manual is a reference guide for not only those who are nearing retirement, but it is an excellent source for those who want to be ahead of the game and plan early."--Linda Ammons, Former Dean of Widener University School of Law
