Full question: Hi Martha, I’ve been collecting Survivor benefits since I was 66. I’ll be turning 70 in October. How do I find out if my own benefits at 70 will be higher than my deceased spouse’s?

Hi there,

You should contact your local Social Security office to verify if you are eligible for a higher amount of your own retirement benefits than the survivor benefit amount you are currently collecting.

If you have any further questions, please contact us at help@rssa.com

Take care,
Martha
