Does The New Law Affect Me?

I started drawing off my husbands SS (he is living) when I reached full retirment age (66) in 2013, planning to switch to my own higher
benefit when I turn 70 in 2017. My husband waited until he was 70 to draw any benefits, and was drawing before I began to draw off him.

Is there anything in the new law passed that would prevent me from getting my full benefit I planned on at 70 based on my own earnings?

Hi,

No, it sounds like your strategy is still fine.

Best, Jerry
