Social Security Question

Hi Terry,
I have a question about what I did with my Social Security in the past.
When I was 65 I learned that I was eligible to receive my deceased husband’s (died at age 49) SS benefit and still continue to work. I took this option and received a lump sum for past benefits due and then a monthly benefit payments. I retired at 67 and the benefit was switched to my income history since it would be higher. Did I do this correctly or did this in some way affect my retirement at 67. Not that I can change anything, but I was just curious if this negatively affected my SS benefits.
I love listening to you on WGN and reading your website. I follow your chicken money advice and have T Bills, CDs, saving account and a portion of my money in Vanguard investments. At 73 I live off my SS Benefit and my IMRF pension without touching my savings.

Thank you,
