About NARSSA

A Need for Professional Advisors with Competency in Social Security

There are now over 59 million people collecting Social Security benefits each month, and they account for about one in six in the United States. Over 70 million baby boomers will become eligible for Social Security and Medicare benefits over the coming years. That's over 10,000 people a day that need advice on issues related to Social Security including specifically how to maximize their benefits for themselves and their spouse. Agents at the Social Security Administration are prohibited from providing advice. Yet there are very few professionals that have any formal knowledge or training as to how to help their clients related to Social Security and Medicare planning. There is a tremendous demand for a social security professional.

NARSSA is the first comprehensive online educational platform for financial, tax and accounting professionals that seek to obtain a foundation of education in social security issues for the purpose of advising their clients. It is independently owned by the National Association of Registered Social Security Analysts and has no affiliation with the Social Security Administration or any other government agency.

The mission of the National Association of Registered Social Security Analysts (NARSSA) is to provide financial professionals and advisors with an educational online platform to acquire the knowledge, obtain a professional credential that demonstrates their competency, and provide professionals with the resources and technology they need to better serve clients that seek advice on issues related to Social Security and Medicare.
