A Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC), she hosts the popular podcast Social Security: Answers from the Experts. Martha is the author of numerous white papers, seminar presentations, and articles on Social Security and retirement planning. Her published books include Avoiding Social InSecurity, The Retirement You Desire, and The Social Security You've Earned.
