Great job in explaining the survivor benefits, easy to understand. Thanks for taking voluminous amounts of the SSA code reduced to a 12: 44-minute video.

@011219551 2 года назад

Hi Mr. Devin! I have great news about my situation.Just got off the phone with SSA. She told me I'll be getting 1350.00 a month. She also told me that I could have been getting this since I turned 60. I say, better late then never! Thank-the Lord I'm getting it!! Thanks so much, I'm also going to share this video with all my social networks. I'll be back to hear you, love staying ABREST of things, hahaha....Right!!I could have been getting that at 60!! Hahaha! Have an awesome evening!!!!

Hi Devin. Thank you so much for this VLOG. My wife recently passed away and I applied for survivor’s benefit. When I go a call from the SSA about my claim, I got what I believe was bad information. I thought they were wrong but with what you taught us AND downloading the OIG report you referenced, I am confident I am right. I will be speaking to them again next week but am now armed with knowledge.

Hi Devin Carroll, I am new to your videos & yes, I subscribed. I am curious as to if either me(age 60) or my mom(age 77) would be eligible for Social Security survivor benefits from my dad. He died at age 87. She has been married before to someone else but my dad never remarried. She is currently a widow. I am his oldest child & I am on SSI. What are our chances of collecting those benefits?

@debbielawrence5351 5 лет назад

@Michael-Joseph123 7 месяцев назад

Great video Devin, I always recommend your video's to everyone when the topic of social security comes up. I have one question about the widows limit, I took my social security at soon as I turned 62, I seen you video about when your birthday is not your birthday, this is a very strange rule, and I'm happy to say my birthday is on the first day of the month, so I was able to get paid for the month I actually turned 62, and since social security considered my birthday the last day of the previous mouth, I got a small increase for delaying a month, most people think I'm crazy when I tell them this. Back to the widows limit, since I took ss at 62, if I was to pass away, it looks like my younger wife that was born in 1965 could collect 82.5% of what I would have collected at full retirement age when she turns 62 and 7 months, would this be 82.5% of what my statement said I would get at full retirement age years ago, or would cola raises be added? Thanks.

@charlenegeniuk737 4 года назад

When your child graduate from high school , they take away the social security benefits, as a widower we should automatically get the Social Security benefits before 60 years , this is so messed up.. because the grovment don’t care how we are supposed to survive!!!

I am 51 years old my husband took his life and because he was not military then it is considered a foreseen death and so there for they told me I would never ever be able to get my widows benefits only military spouses are allowed to draw their spouses benefits even if their spouse took their own life due to the fact that social security says that a suicide of a miltary spouse is considered unforeseen death my husband been dead now for 16 years and I live how ever I can it really kinda sucks I feel it discrimination against non miltary wives but do not get me wrong I have the greatest respect for our military but social security sucks they also say that sucide is shameful so sad from iowa

Hi, @ Devin Carroll I retired October 2021 and my husband passed in February 2015. He was disabled and received disability insurance. I retired at 59 and I'll turn 60 this year. I have an appt with SS in August. I managed to save some money before I retired. I want to know if this will affect me in qualifying for survivor's benefits?

@sapphirerings 4 года назад

yes, they have many rules, i was surprised i could collect on him, also to get the surviving spouse check one must have been married to the deceased for 10 years...if they marry a second time the new wife can only collect if they too married 10 years...less than 10 years the second spouse gets nothing...

@ltmundy1164 3 года назад

@@sapphirerings: The surviving spouse does qualify for benefits: While married at the time of death, and the marriage was greater than 8 months. Surviving widow/widower can claim reduced benefits at 60/disabled at 50/at any age if caring for minor/disabled dependents. Former spouses are only eligible to claim similar benefits if the marriage was 10 years or greater.

@@ltmundy1164 we were married 20years. i was badly burned almost 2 years ago by a fireball to back, arms legs, i was surprised when the lady in ss office told me i qualified...not a lot but it helps, they already had all the info, on file, i turned 65 in burn unit , so i needed change from ssdi to ss, i got lead poisoning from working in a battery factory...for 15 years...lead is an insidious poison, i have it in my bones, some tissues, we had 3 young daughters when he passed from pancreatic cancer, so i was kinda familiar with some of the rules, was 55 before i received ssdi, but i helped with the mothers checks, i worked until my body could no longer go, but the girls were adults then...very lucky the lead did not affect my legs, however the burns were bad, was in burn unit for over 2 months, went home with half healed wounds, just glad my middle daughter knew my past med history, the burn surgeons said the lead poisoning made my treatments and grafts diff from usual protocols...

He started RR collecting 2001 (Tier1/2 as he paid 6.2% into Soc Sec plus 4.2% into RR and made the 30 yr commitment. Then in 2018 deceased at age 79. Surviving spouse was also a working woman in different field, has 40 quarters as Drafter. But was only 59 at spouse death, she was not disabled & no minor child at the time. Should she also get estimate or do something with Social Security office..or just apply at RRB Railroad Board? They had a question about "PROTECTING THE SOC SEC OPTION" But how does one do this?

Do they start to calculate from the beginning of the year or when I file? And can I finish my year working and collect S.S as long as I stay under the limit?

I am very confused. My mom just got approved for Survivor's yesterday. She just turned 60. My dad passed at age 73 in 2019 and he was retired. There's an X amount that she will begin to receive for January beginning February 2021. However, at the bottom, there's another dollar amount from April 2003 through December 2020. Does this mean she's getting a lump sum of the total amount from 04/2003 - 12/2020??? We are super confused as to where the second came from and what its for. Someone, please clarify.

Was marred 23 yrs . before divorcing his father , We were a military family for most of the marriage . I was not eligible for any military benefits . but my child would be if he could get survivor benefits . it turned out he was not eligible because he got married at 19 . they were married less than a year and he spent the next 3 years in a mental hospital . and they never saw each other again , he is now 37. they are still married . of course being on SS and a income of under 800 a month .

Kajun, sorry for your loss. Based upon your info: Your late husband was receiving 79.65% of his full age benefit. You're eligible to receive that amount or the 82.5% max of his full age benefit, whichever is greater, but no greater. And that amount is subject to survivor benefits reduction, dependent upon your age. Best scenario for you: Max claim @ 62 years 7 months. Refer to graphics @ 7:00/8:00/9:40.

I have a question for something I haven’t seen anyone explain. I have a relative that is a retired postal worker. He was drawing his pension and a very small amount of SS due to the WEP. His wife was drawing her own disability SS and she recently passed away. Her Disability SS was much more than what he was getting from SS because of the WEP so would he be entitled to get her part because it’s greater than what he’s currently drawing. Thank you

@ltmundy1164 3 года назад

Government Pension Offset (GPO) rules may apply. Since his retirement is funded through Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), he is subject to Windfall Elimination Provisions (WEP). Current postal/federal employees are enrolled into Federal Employment Retirement (FERS) System, and into FICA/SS. You should (with relative's permission) contact local USPS HR center or US Office of Personnel Management (opm.gov). Edit/addl: Employed under a collective bargaining agreement? Contact the national offices for the union that still represents him.

I am divorced and remarried. Can I take my current deceased husband’s benefits now and when my ex husband passes switch to his which will be much more?

A worker entitled to social security benefits under their own work and subject to the WEP reduction. Why would that same worker entitled to survivor benefits as a divorced widower, married after age 61 and after the death of the 2nd spouse, have to forfeit benefits of the 1st deceased spouse. The 1st spouse served 20 years active military, ten years on the military recall list after retirement, worked under the Federal Employment Retirement System for 16 years. He died at 55 years of age and never drew social security benefits. Why do the social security administration reduce my suvivor benefits under the GPO provision. There were no social security or other benefits due from the 2nd spouse.

SSA office told me when my husband passed that his benefits would go back to when he first started drawing in the 1990 s I am drawing SSDI. From my own SS. I am also raising his grandkids and tell me I can’t draw anything on his babies

If he received/had legal guardianship of his grandchildren. Or, possibly, if they are declared dependents on your/his annual joint tax filings. You could have standing to appeal: Show a history of ongoing care/support for school age minors. Challenge/dispute the ruling. Ask, the worst they can do is say: No.

I will turn 62 before my husband would have reached full retirement age. He had a much higher P.I.A. than me. Can I claim my benefits at 62 and then switch to his survivor benefit when He would have reached full retirement age?

Something I don’t think you addressed. My wife files on her own record at 62, I the older one and higher earner waits until 67. I die and my wife continues her benefit until 67 can she then file survivor benefit and get my full amount ?

If I get disability benefitand I decide to Bob for survivors benefits for my husband I never remarried will I get both checks my disability check and the survivor check for my husband

@ltmundy1164 3 года назад

Either/or. Not both. Tax considerations may come into play. Unlike SS, Disability/SSDI amounts are generally tax free.

My husband worked for GM over 22 years and recently passed. GM says his pension is for me at age 55 and will be $244. per month. This doesn't seem right whatsoever. He made over 65k per year
