Ken Jilek helps individuals and couples make sense of Social Security before they make a decision that can shape retirement income for years to come. As a Registered Social Security Analyst® (RSSA®), he uses RSSA Roadmap® planning software to review claiming scenarios and explain options in clear, everyday language.
Ken speaks about the choices people face when deciding whether to claim at 62, Full Retirement Age, or later; how spouses can coordinate their decisions; and what divorced-spouse, survivor, and working-while-claiming rules may mean for a household. His goal is to help people replace guesswork with a better understanding of their options.
As a CLTC® professional, Ken also brings a long-term care planning perspective to conversations about retirement. He helps audiences see Social Security claiming as one important part of a larger plan for income, family, and future needs.
Ken’s presentations are designed for adults approaching retirement, couples, employee groups, and community organizations. Audiences leave with practical questions to consider, a clearer view of the decisions ahead, and a stronger foundation for informed conversations about their retirement income.
