Hi there,

If you are currently receiving survivor benefits and wish to switch to your own retirement benefits, you will need to apply for retirement benefits separately. This can be done online, by phone, or in person at your local Social Security office.

For a step-by-step guide on how to apply for Social Security retirement benefits, please visit this website. If you need further assistance or have additional questions, consider scheduling a consultation with a Registered Social Security Analyst (RSSA) for personalized advice. You can find an RSSA near you by visiting this link.

Take care,
Martha
