About this Event

About this event:


Are you a parent or caregiver of a youth or young adult with a disability? Join us for an empowering and informative workshop designed especially for families navigating Social Security benefits.

In this session, Alix Yokabitus of Cary Estate Planning will guide you through the essentials of Social Security benefits for your children — including SSI, SSDI, and other key supports — and offer practical strategies and tips to help you make informed decisions.

Alix will also address an important topic for many families: the potential implications when parents of children with disabilities choose to claim their own Social Security benefits early. You’ll walk away with insight into timing decisions, benefit coordination, and planning strategies tailored to your family’s unique needs.

Whether you’re just starting to explore benefits or looking to optimize your planning approach, this workshop will equip you with the tools and resources you need.
