- Social Security: An overview (7:00 - 8:15 p.m.) will explain how benefits are calculated, the best time to start collecting Social Security, and about spousal benefits.
The seminars will be held at Everence Financial, 1221 W. Maple St., Hartville. To reserve your spot, contact Jean Bontrager at 330‑877‑6066 or email jean.bontrager@everence.com
