“I’m delighted that a broader consumer audience will have the opportunity to hear my message about the importance of Social Security as the bedrock of most Americans’ retirement income plan,” Franklin said.
“Deciding when to claim Social Security is a highly personal decision based on your health, marital status, and other sources of retirement income. This program, 'Social Security & You with Mary Beth Franklin,' will arm you with crucial information so you can make the best decision for your unique situation,” she added.
