More than 250 members attended the Social Security 101 workshops! Thanks to our presenter, Delia De Mello, for a wealth of information about Social Security. You can review the presentation slideshow.

This event was organized by SEIU Local 888's new retiree chapter: SEIU Local 888 Union Forever.  We invite any of you who are retired or about to retire to become a member of the new retiree chapter. Becoming a member gives you:

This reduction is referred to as the Windfall Elimination Provision, or WEP.
