Husband Passed Away on Thursday
My husband, who had been sick for years and recently went into hospice care, passed away Thursday morning.💔😢 He was 65 when he passed, but had to retire early from his Federal Government job in 2020 due to his health, and was receiving SSDI. I myself will turn 65 in November. 1) I will receive SSDI survivor benefits, correct? 2) If I delay receiving those SSDI survivor benefits until I turn 65 in November, I will receive a higher percentage of my husband's monthly SSDI -- Is my understanding correct? P.S. Please forgive me for posting in two places (I'm never entirely sure how to raise my hand for help)

So this is my experience. I was still working at 65. I called in and applied for Medicare Part A only because my qualified medical coverage continues. I was born at the very end of 1959. My FRA is 10/31/2026. From a SSA perspective, the range is 62, FRA, and 70. Here’s the bottom line. Forever, I have been targeting 65 as my retirement age only to learn that number was bumped to 66 and now 67. 65 is no longer the benchmark except for Medicare since medical costs are separate from SSA.

Good Grief!!!
What a joke! I tried to sign up on the SSA /My account.. it wanted more and more stuff.. I click out of the site.. it was too much. I will just bring the the Representative payee report down to the SSA office or mail it.. what a mess.. The notice stated it was easy to sign up on line..HahHa...Not for me... and I am sure others feel the same way... However I will not give up... I will try to find someone to help me set the site up online... not my phone either 🤬🫢🫨

I just signed up online last Sunday and I found it easier than I expected. Can you share the topic or topics that sent you down the rabbit holes? It might help others in this community.

When should I get ss?
Good Morning, I submitted to start ss in 4/1 I got a email starting I should receive an answer in 30 days. I called to schedule an appointment but never got anything. I continued working and working alott. July i received a 7 grand check for the months I didn't get ss. As of August I am at 30,000 grand. So the question is do I give the money back a start a new date or do just quit my job and hope things work out? Help!!

Hi Kelly. Did you file for SS because you were prepared to retire and then found a new job or career? If your work life is renewed and you want to work more, why not revoke your SS application and pay back your benefits?
