Will Social Security be there for you when you retire?

It's a topic that interests most Americans and there are many myths out there. Jack Myers with Social Security indicates the short answer is yes but many times when people think about Social Security, they think about their future retirement benefits.

Myers continues to encourage young workers to look at their mySocialSecurity accounts to see what they and their family members could potentially qualify for if something happened to them. Personalized information is available in monthly benefit estimates and is a great financial planning tool that is unique to you.
