Larry thanks for the earlier advice on my wife and her options for SS since she is receiving benefits from a TRS retirement pension. As a follow up question is will my SS benefits be affected since we took the payout until we are both deceased in the case of her passing away before me? Thanks Pete

Hi Pete,

No. Your Social Security benefits would not be affected by any TRS pension payments that your wife receives, nor would it affect your Social Security benefits if you were to receive spousal or survivor benefits from your wife's TRS pension plan.

Best, Jerry
