WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, September 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- National Social Security Advisors® (NSSA®), a leading provider of Social Security education for financial professionals, announced today the acquisition of IRMAA Certified Planner™ (IRMAACP™), a trusted designation program focused on Medicare's Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). This strategic acquisition represents a major step forward in offering financial professionals a more complete understanding on the two most critical areas of retirement planning: Social Security and Medicare.

“This acquisition represents the next evolution of our mission to elevate retirement planning education,” said Travis Stanley, President of NSSA®. “By bringing together the strengths of the IRMAACP™ designation with the established credibility of the NSSA® Certification, we’re creating the most robust, practical, and accessible set of retirement planning designations in the marketplace.”

Importantly, both NSSA® and IRMAACP™ will continue to be offered independently. Financial professionals can pursue the NSSA® Certification to deepen their Social Security expertise and the IRMAACP™ designation to master the complexities of Medicare’s income-related costs. Members may also earn both credentials through NSSA®, expanding their knowledge and demonstrating comprehensive retirement planning expertise.

Todd Valles, Medicare and IRMAA subject matter expert of the IRMAACP™ program, will continue to contribute to the curriculum and ensure that the Medicare components remain best-in-class. “We’ve always believed that advisors need to understand both Social Security and Medicare to truly serve their clients,” Valles said. “Now, with NSSA®, advisors have the opportunity to pursue either or both designations under one trusted platform.”

Mark Annese, who leads marketing and technology efforts for IRMAACP™, added, “NSSA’s platform provides the scale and infrastructure to bring this content to a much wider audience. Together, these classes will empower advisors who want to stand out as comprehensive financial planning experts.”

With both classes available, NSSA® is meeting the growing demand for professional education that is practical, compliant, and directly relevant to clients’ most pressing retirement income concerns.
