2025 Retiree Financial Workshop Webinars
The Retiree Financial Workshop will be offered online in an interactive webinar format this year, with the opportunity to ask questions. These webinars are for IMRF retirees only and are presented by Karen Chan, Financial Educator. The programs are free, but they require registration.
Each topic will be presented virtually two times on two different days to best accommodate your schedule. Please check the time your session begins. The session will either start at 10:00 AM or 1:00 PM (CST).
Understanding Medicare Choices
Whether you’re signing up for the first time or wondering if you should make a change, this class will help you make a more informed decision about Medicare. We will break down the different types of medical expenses and compare how traditional Medicare (A/B/D & Supplement Plans) and Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) cover – or don’t cover – those expenses. We’ll talk about when you should sign up, when you can change from one plan to another (and the barriers to doing that), and what additional types of insurance could fill the gaps.
Thursday, September 18, at 10 AM (central time)
Friday, September 19, at 1 PM (central time)
(Please note: The above dates and times are for one workshop that is offered at 2 different times. Please register for just one of the times.)
Strategies for Claiming Social Security Benefits
Starting your Social Security benefits may be as simple as filling out a form. But there are many choices to make. Learn rules and strategies for singles and married couples, how other income can affect your Social Security benefits, and special options available to widows and widowers. We will also cover the impact of the FAIR Act on government workers receiving pensions from jobs not covered by Social Security.
