Hi,

Hi Larry,
How do they calculate widows benefits if the widow is age 61 and on SS Disability since age 53 and spouse that she was married to for 38 years passed at age 68 and was collecting FRA SS Benefits. I can find all the information if disabled widow is 50 to 60 but what about after age 60?

Hi,

My husband died in 2001 at the age of 42. I remarried in my late 40's. I have worked for public schools for 32 years and will be 60 this year. I do not pay into social security but into TRS (Texas Teachers retirement System) . I have a couple of questions. Can I receive my deceased Spouses social security and work? Can I receive it along with my retirement from TRS when I do retire? My current husband is not receiving benefits and is not at retirement age.

Hi,

Hi,

I'm sorry for your loss.

I am 67 and receiving SSDI $2500 from my 30 year work record. I also receive $1700 federal retirement no windfall also from my work record. I am soon to marry. He is 75 and receives $1600 SSDI and military retirement $1100 all based on his 28 year work record. No reductions, no windfall. Question: If my husband dies will I receive full widows disability? If so, how much will I receive? I am the higher wage earner. We both started receiving benefits after full retirement age.

Hi,

Hi,
My name is Joella and my husband John passed away a month ago. John was on social Security disability
My question is will I be able to collect widow survivor Support even though I am on Social Security disability myself

Hi Joella,

I'm sorry for your loss.

I worked for 27 full yrs.Having been born in 1949, my FRA would be at age 66. At age 62 I applied for my benefits, base being 1, 266. minus Medicare premium of $187 because my investments did so well last yr. My husband, also born in 1949 kept working. He died at age 63 yr and 8 mos, employed at the time of ,his death. I am now 68 yrs and 4 mos. old. I had planned on waiting until I was 70 to apply for my deceased spouse's benefits, thinking that each year after age 66, his benefits would grow (for me) 8% a year.

Just wanting to make sure I am clear on this retirement choice for myself. I am still working. Will be 66 (full retirement age) in January 2019. If I continue to work, will I be eligible to receive my full widow benefit from my deceased husband? Wanting to ensure I am making the correct choice. My plan is to continue working for several months after the age of 66, collect his full benefit, which is 2300.00, just to add to my retirement nest egg. I would then retire after doing this for a few months and receive my government pension.

My father passed away in February at age 61, my mother is 60 and on disability I used the online calculator on ssa.gov and input my fathers earning record. Calculated that at full retirement age my mothers survivors benefit would be $1813.00 receive benefits at age 50 if disabled . the ssa website says she is eligble for 71.5% =$1296.00 My mother had been receiving $992.

At age 66 my husband was diagnosed with a terminal Illness and was eligible for disability. Disability insurance required we file for SS benefits. Our plan was to suspend SS benefit when disability insurance expired and live with savings until he reached age 70. Is there any value in me waiting until his 70th birthday to apply for the restricted widows benefit. I am approaching 61 and plan on rejoining the work force, have been home being the caregiver over last several years. My husband was definitely the higher salary.
