Albuquerque-Based Firm, Hicks Advisory Group, Declares August as "Social Security Awareness" Month

Albuquerque, NM, August 13, 2014 --(PR.com)-- This August marks the 79th anniversary of the signing and passing of the Social Security Act of 1935, a monumental and historic program designed to provide steady and sustainable income for retirees.

Unfortunately, far too many retirees do not understand how Social Security works, and lack of Social Security awareness may be costing retirees tens of thousands of dollars in lifetime benefits during retirement.

In order to help New Mexicans better understand Social Security, and how to maximize potential benefits, the Hicks Advisory Group has created five convenient, complimentary, and educational Social Security Awareness workshops around Albuquerque, NM.

· Thursday, August 21st - Taylor Ranch Community Center @ 6:00pm

· Tuesday, August 26th – North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center @ 11:00am & 6:00pm

· Thursday, August 28th – Holiday Park Community Center @ 11:00am & 6:00pm

All pre-retirees and retirees who are interested in maximizing Social Security income are encouraged to attend a workshop, and can reserve a spot by calling the Hicks Advisory Group office at 505-821-6966 or by visiting www.HicksAdvisory.com to sign up online.
