[From the Archives of Our Bodies, Our Blog](/blog)# Webinar Alert: What Women Need to Know About Social Security

By Christine Cupaiuolo • June 22, 2009

Please note: This entry -- originally posted at [Our Bodies, Our Blog](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/blog) -- has not been updated since the publication date listed above.

On Tuesday, June 23 (tomorrow!), the [National Women's Law Center](http://www.nwlc.org/) is sponsoring a webinar, "Planning for the Future: What Women Need to Know About Social Security." It's scheduled to start at 1 p.m. EST. It's free, but [registration is required](http://action.nwlc.org/site/R?i=1SUeVJgdILwq0gYnmZf4zA).  
  
  
  
Here's the write-up:  
  
> As women think about retirement, they may take stock of their savings and realize they don't have enough saved ─ and they don't know what to do with the savings they do have. They may not know what benefits they can get from Social Security, and how their decisions about when to claim benefits (and their husband's, if they are married) can affect the benefits they receive.  
>   
>   
>   
> Don't panic! The National Women's Law Center is hosting a two-part series of free webinars to help women prepare for retirement, for service providers, advocates, and individuals. The first webinar is about women and Social Security; the second is about pensions and savings.  
>
