Know Your Rights - Social Security & the LGBTQ Community


2015-04_know_yr_rights.jpgThree events are coming up for the Know Your Rights Initiative, an important education program for same-sex married couples regarding access to enhanced Social Security benefits.

Marriage Equality USA is co-sponsoring three Town Halls in Northern California in April 2015 and we want to make sure you have the opportunity to get these events on your calendars.

LGBTQ elders and their families will be provided with extensive education regarding benefits available to many same-sex couples since the historic 2013 United States Supreme Court Windsor decision, through the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare Foundation’s Know Your Rights Initiative funded by a grant from The California Wellness Foundation (Cal Wellness).
