good but does not cover all by alan kaye (edgewater, fl United States)  3 Stars
June 27, 2009
I bought this book with the expectation of learning more about medicare than social security as I am already on SSD. There really is not much regarding that subject but I guess if you are in your 50's it would be helpful - not so much if you are in your early 60's.

A disappointment by audiobook maven (Bryn Mawr, PA United States)  2 Stars
June 04, 2009
I bought this book to learn more about Medicare. To my disappointment, it only contains several chapters on Medicare. The book is really about retirement with chapters on making the most of your benefits and living on your retirement income...that sort of thing. The content on Medicare is superficial and at this point out of date (the copyright is 2006). DEFINITELY not for a professional who wants detailed information on the program!

Somewhat useful. by H. Ferguson (California) 2 Stars
March 02, 2009
Not as extensive as I thought it would be. Good explanations, however. Somewhat useful for a first book on Social Security.

Out of Date and too simple by Charles Drinnan (Houston) 2 Stars
December 21, 2008
While the book seems relatively current regarding procedures its examples are out of date. The book didn't answer a lot of my questions.

December 07, 2007
I found the Idiot's Guide to be very informative. It answered most of my questions, and told me where to find to answers to those questions that it didn't answer.
