Will My Social Security Benefits Be Reduced If I Receive A Survivor Pension Based On My Ex-Husband's Work?

I received survivors benefits from my late exhusband o pension from local police dept. Can I collect my OWN social security with no reductions

Hi,

Your receipt of survivor benefits from your ex-husband's police pension program would have no effect on any type of Social Security benefits for which you are eligible. You may want to consider using the maximization software available on this website to determine your best claiming strategy for Social Security.

Best, Jerry
