When I switch from my husband’s survivor benefits to my own retirement benefit, will a month of payment be withheld?

Full question: I’m switching from my husband’s survivor benefits to my own and I want to know if they’re going to withhold a month.

Hi there,

No. When you switch from a survivor benefit to your own retirement benefit, the Social Security Administration will not withhold a month of payment.

Take care,
Martha
