Putting the Pieces Together to Weather the Economic Downturn
Date: Tuesday, March 31st, 2009
Time: 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern Time
Has today’s economic downturn hurt the outlook for your financial security? Do you need to develop a modified spending plan as a result of reduced income, increased debt, or other changes in your financial situation? If you are facing a layoff, do you know if you’re eligible for unemployment benefits, what’s the maximum benefit amount you may receive, and how to file a claim? Do you know how to negotiate a severance package? What are your options for protecting or extending your healthcare coverage and retirement benefits after a job loss? Are there any special tax considerations to be aware of during such challenging economic times?
A question and answer session will follow the presentations.
