Will WEP Apply If I Claim Benefits Under My Husband's Social Security Record?
I am a US/UK dual citizen. I worked in the UK for about 19 years in a public service role, and I will have a pension from that and eventually a small state pension. I have worked in the USA for 19 years as a self employed person, paying both employee and employer social security payments. I will not reach the 20 years for graduated WEP deductions due to two years under the substantial earnings. My personal record shows benefits higher than if I claimed under my husbands record, who has 30 years payments. Mine though, will be subject to WEP, reducing it substantially.
