Security Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York announced the release of an improved version of its Social Security Evaluator software.

The new version of the software incorporates an income tax feature, enabling the client to consider projected income tax exposures regarding his or her Social Security benefits. This new version requires only a few inputs, according to the firm, and the core software, which was released in February of this year, now creates client-specific reports that rank and describe various claiming options.
