SS Windfall

By Terry Savage on January 15, 2025 | Wild Card

I am a widow. My husband’s ss was reduced because he had a pension from the Post Office. I collect my own ss as mine was much higher than his. Am I eligible to collect his back money?
Thank you..

IF, his full benefit would have been larger than your own, you can now apply to receive his FULL benefit. And they should reimburse you for all of last year, and for every month in 2025. But it could take a while to get this processed.
