survivor benefit

At 66 and two months, you qualified for your full survivor benefit, meaning that the amount wasn’t reduced because of an early start.

The good news is that the earnings test will end when you reach 66 years and six months, and you’ll start receiving your survivor benefit regardless of how much you get paid.

Remarriage wouldn’t affect her divorced survivor benefit since she’s over 60, Reichenstein said.

If the previous spouse has passed, you may qualify for a divorced survivor benefit.

The monthly survivor benefit varies, depending on factors like wages and the number of dependents.
