Social security — correct benefits?
My husband died 18 months ago. I retired shortly before he died. I receive a pension from my
employment and was told I could not receive my husbands benefits because I receive my own pension. He had retired and was receiving full social security benefts upon his retirement.

That may be partially true — if you have a public employee’s pension. But the only way to make absolutely sure you are receiving the correct info is to go to Calculate Your Highest Benefits | Maximize My Social Security.
