Listener’s emails addressed on today’s show:
Female listener in Little Rock, AR asked:
My husband passed away in May of 2017. My Social Security survivor benefit from him would be about $1,500 a month. I’m 61 yrs old and earning about $38,200 a year. Am I entitled to any benefits while I work and earn this money? Social Security says no. What do you say?
Female listener in Benton, AR asked:
If my husband’s Social Security benefit will amount to half than what mine will be, can he start drawing at age 62 and then increase to half of mine when I retire? Or does he have to wait until full retirement age?
