She examines how marriage, divorce, death of a spouse, work, and other issues might affect her benefits. She dives into understanding benefits at our planner pages. If she finds an incorrect posting, she’ll locate her W-2 form and quickly contact Social Security to correct it because she understands these are the earnings used to figure her benefits. She rolls up her sleeves and sets up her my Social Security account to review her earnings and estimates. She focuses on our pamphlet called What Every Woman Should Know for a game plan. Today’s Rosie will turn her “can-do” spirit to learning more about Social Security and what role it will play in her financial plan for the future. Women who have been married and had low earnings or who didn’t work may be covered through their spouses’ work. Women provide their own basic level of protection when they work and pay taxes into the Social Security system. You can outlive your savings and investments, but Social Security is for life. Women tend to live longer than men, so Social Security’s inflation-adjusted benefits help protect women. More Rosies work today, and nearly 60 percent of people receiving benefits are women. If you asked Rosie about Social Security, she would use her rivet gun to drive home the value of Social Security for women. Both the image and the spirit live on today. These “Rosies” embodied the “can-do” spirit immortalized in a poster by J. They also paid FICA on their wages, contributing to the Social Security program. They produced much of the armaments and ammunition to supply the war effort. These women learned new jobs and filled in for the men who were away at war. Another Icon.“Rosie the Riveter” is an American icon representing women working in factories during World War II. On the wall in her office still hangs one of her favorite paintings… a Manet. We honor her, and all the hard working and amazing women who have made APM Hexseal successful, by continuing Riva’s tradition of the drive toward excellence, dedication and accepting no outcome other than success. We miss seeing her but take solace in knowing that she is up there somewhere, an ethereal guiding hand for APM Hexseal. Smaller in stature but not at all diminished in status, she still radiated the smart, sassy and devoted woman who literally built the company. She would walk through the office, wave to the people and spend a bit of time visiting. Up until a month before she passed, Riva would still come in from time to time. She was the genius behind the genius and is equally responsible, with Milton, for the long and successful history that APM Hexseal has enjoyed. A mighty force of nature, Riva worked side by side with Milton and developed the framework of the sales channel that still exists at APM Hexseal today. 75 years ago, having women in the tech sector was not only uncommon, in an executive position it was unheard of. Driven and dynamic, her tireless efforts launched what would become a pioneer in the industry. Milton was the genius in the lab and Riva was the sales engine. APM Hexseal was founded more than 75 years ago by Riva and her inventor husband, Milton Morse.
In recognition of International Women’s month, we celebrate and honor the life of our co-founder and matriarch of the business, Riva Solins Morse, who passed away in January of 2018, at almost 101 years old. Once you understand the innate qualities that would allow no outcome other than success, the story of the journey makes perfect sense.ĪPM Hexseal has had our share of Icons. There is always a definitive uniqueness to their spirit and character that clarifies the why that was the impetus for the how. What is usually fascinating about icons is their journey, their history, their “how I got here” story. It is their unparalleled success or excellence that awards them the status of icon. Icons can come from anywhere or from any walk of life. In layman’s terms, icon means idol, standout, pinnacle – the essence of greatness in a category. Such an interesting term, used to describe many people and many things but what does it truly signify?
