Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a General Consultation?

You'll have a private 30-minute phone or video call with a former SSA insider. You can ask any questions about your Social Security, retirement, disability, or Medicare situation. Your consultant will provide personalized guidance, explain your options in plain English, and give you clear next steps you can act on.

What's included in the Retirement Application Help session?

Retirement App Help sessions are conducted via Zoom with screen sharing. Your consultant will walk you through the actual retirement application on the mySSA.gov portal, step by step.

How do I choose the right consultant?

Each consultant has different specialties listed on their profile. For retirement questions or application help, look for consultants with "Retirement Specialist" in their title. For disability questions or application help, look for "Disability Specialist." For general questions about any topic, any of our consultants can help. If you're still unsure, the $199 General Consultation is a great place to start.

Are there any hidden fees or upsells?

No. Pricing is flat-rate and shown up front. You pay once for the session you book — there are no add-ons, no retainers, and no surprise charges.

Can I reschedule or cancel my appointment?

Yes. After booking, you'll receive a confirmation email with a link to reschedule or cancel your appointment. We ask for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations.

Is this legal advice?

No. Our consultants are former SSA employees who provide educational guidance based on their insider knowledge. They are not attorneys and do not provide legal advice. For legal matters, many people find it helpful to consult with a qualified attorney who specializes in Social Security law.

📚 Educational resource only. Not legal advice. Always verify with SSA at 1-800-772-1213.
