NARSSA Announces Partnership with the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA)

MELVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Association of Registered Social Security Analysts (NARSSA), the leader in expert Social Security education, training, and analysis fulfillment for financial professionals, has announced a partnership with the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA). NAPFA is the country's leading professional association of fee-only, fiduciary financial advisors—highly trained professionals who are committed to working in the best interests of those they serve.

As the last of the 75 million plus baby boomers reach Social Security eligibility over the next six years, the demand for expert Social Security income planning advice is unprecedented. One of the common themes that advisors hear is that their clients tend to underestimate both the amount of Social Security income they are entitled to, as well as the complexity of the Social Security rules that determine how much they can receive. Social Security income planning is the cornerstone of any comprehensive retirement plan. NAPFA members who earn their RSSA^® credential will be well positioned to help their clients with this critical function.

NARSSA and NAPFA will be collaborating on several initiatives to promote Social Security education to NAPFA's member community. These initiatives are to include educational programs, articles, podcasts, and other program benefits for NAPFA members. NAPFA members who complete NARSSA's Social Security education course will have the opportunity to earn their RSSA^® credential and be recognized by clients as Social Security experts.          

"We are delighted to establish a partnership with NAPFA," said Todd S. Whiton, CEO of NARSSA. "NAPFA's commitment to professional development for its fee-only, fiduciary financial planners sets a very high standard for the financial services industry." Whiton continued, "Our vision is for the RSSA^® credential to be the 'gold standard' for expert Social Security advisory and we couldn't be more excited to work with NAPFA members to help them support their clients with their Social Security income planning needs."

"The new partnership with NARSSA aligns with NAPFA's strategic objective to elevate practitioner competency in key areas of financial planning. Partners like NARSSA amplify our ongoing efforts to bring relevant and advanced content to affiliated financial planning professionals," added Geoffrey Brown, CAE, NAPFA CEO. "We are really excited about the possibilities created through this new partnership as we strive towards enhancing the capabilities and competency of fee-only, fiduciary financial planning professionals."
