Social Security Benefits Handbook (Legal Survival Guides)

From Booklist
It's not as if there were a dearth of information about Social Security. The Social Security Administration's own regularly updated Social Security Handbook runs 676 pages and includes a 70-page index. And though obtaining publications from the Government Printing Office should not be a barrier, it sometimes is for some libraries. For those looking for accessible, understandable assistance, attorney and former Social Security claims representative Tomkiel has distilled details about how Social Security is administered and what benefits are available for whom into clearly presented, easy-to-locate explanations. Though their shelf life may be limited, books on topics such as this that are both authoritative and relatively inexpensive make valuable acquisitions. David Rouse
