@@Migglefitch this is a lie. Social Security is akin to auto insurance or homeowners' insurance. If you don't have a qualifying event you don't get the money. You pay money for theft insurance. If you sell the car without it getting stolen you don't get the money back. If the car burns to the ground you don't get money back from the theft part of the policy. Lying about this giant Ponzi scheme doesn't make any sense when people are attempting to figure out what really happens to the money. It goes to those who have a qualifying event.

I agree, a spouse should be able to collect all of their spouse’s Social Security benefits.

The most terrifying time in any older persons life. We have been paying into this for our whole working life. . But I’ve been a homemaker for maybe 90% of my married life. But, caveat, the breadwinner has done OK. but ok then, is not the same as ok now. I’m petrified. I’ve also been hearing that “it’s going to run out” since I was 25. 80’s. Probably why I’m terrified . I fully expect to live in a shed. Nice.

I can't totally complain, but I think it's really unfair that a widow or widower cannot claim both benefits after full retirement age. My husband contributed to Social Security all his life until he died at 51. He was on disability a short time but never was able to access his retirement benefits. It's a total rip-off that someone being married to someone over 10 years can only claim one or the other and that's my beef with Social Security!

YOU PUT THE SOCIAL IN OUR SECURITY. A GOD SEND TO US ALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CHANNEL.

Thanks Devin. As a retired government employee, followed by 26 years as a financial advisor, I appreciate the time and effort you have put in on your videos. I retired some years ago and the 2016 rule changes on SS filing, as it relates to survivor benefits caught my eye. I just recently filed for my own benefit at 70. My wife is 10 years younger and has contributed into Soc. Security for over 40 years herself. Our situation requires a well thought out strategy in the event she has to employ a survivor strategy. Fortunately, our son took over my practice and we have all the software and calculators we need. Most people don’t have that type of information right at hand and you are providing a valuable heads-up. My wife also asked me to extend her thanks to you on this important topic. It’s not like SSA is likely to go back and catch or rectify a survivor’s filing status down the road.

Thank you, keep up the good work.

Excellent video , you explained a lot of things I have questions about, in a way I can understand , thank you

My Scenario. My husband died in 1992 at the age 52. I was age 49 at the time of his death. I didn’t start collecting ANY Social Security benefits until I was age 65, but this was using my surviving benefits on my husband’s SS. I continued to work until age 70 and was told by SS, to come back in and at that time switch to my own SS Benefits as it would be significantly higher. I did so, and yes it was significantly highly. Only some time later, I got a letter from SS saying I was overpaid by the tune of $5,200.00!! I had 3 ways to repay it. 1. Social Security would halt my monthly payment until said amount was paid back. 2. I could send a check to SS for said amount. 3. Have SS withhold an amount within a 2 year payment. I contested all 3 options and we settled with SS withholding $100/mo. For 5 years. I did that and now, after watching your video, it sounds like I should have been able to collect widows benefits from the time he died at age 52. That’s 16 years of benefits that I missed out on. Is it too late to go back and get this? I am now 80 years old!! I hope I can get an answer!

Great presentation very clear

I have full benefits based on my deceased spouse - Fed, Military, SS and TRICARE/Medicare. BUT if I remarry I loose it all! If new spouse dies or divorce- I can not reclaim lost benefits! This is designed to stop marriage. Not supposed to live together either! 🤡

Thank you for this video. I was unaware of a lot of this. How do I check to see if Windexing would help me

Great informative video Devin, thanks so much.

As I am a survivor, I am navigating these waters in real time. I am still working until I become Medicare eligible. Then I plan to take a benefit on my record and switch to my spouse’s at FRA which I understand is 66 and 10 months for survivors. The part I don’t understand is whether I should file on my record at 62 even though my benefit would be reduced because of my income. Is that a permanent reduction? That part of the numbers game just flies past me every time I try to understand it!

Very helpful.

As always very good detailed informative information

I just turned 70. My husband passed in 2011. I've collected his SS since then. Of course, he worked longer (ret) from the company at a higher rate of pay and hours collected altogether... Would it be wise to switch to my own if amt is higher?? Or, will I lose his benefits from his work pension? I'm confused as it is, with all these confusing offers from the medicare insurance supplement plans. A different matter, same problem, choosing what's best and wise!! 🤔

Devin - thanks for video...but..it appears most of the scenerioies in the video pertain to someone dying early in life, prior to normal retirement ages (60's). While I understand many people die young, I am guessing most (90%+) live well past age 60, and most are married to someone about the same age. I think it would be helpfull to a much greater number of people to explain various survivor strategies for spouses when at least one spouse has reached at least age 62 before dying,, and the other is at FRA or at least near age 60.

My wife and I have already reached the "Senior Level" and all our Children are over age 35 and on their own now and would not be eligible for any of our benefits. I am currently 67 and retired getting my Full SS Retirement Benefit. My wife is 61 and still working and she plans to retire at her Full Retirement age of 67. If I am still kicking in six years when she retires at 67 I will be 73. Once we are both drawing our full SS benefits if I die after that time when I am 73, would she still retain her full SS Benefit and also be able to draw a Spousal Benefit from my passing away?

Mr. Carroll I have always enjoyed your informative videos. thank you for the time and effort you put forth on our behalf , I would like to get your opinion about my Social security ? Currently I receive survivor benefit after my wife passing and I turned 60.. I am now 65 years old and my full retirement age is 66 and 4 months. The difference is my benefit will be about 1,000 more than I receive now as a survivor benefit..I am in good health and see no problem reaching the 66 and 4 months threshold ,. The SSA increase will not move me from my current tax bracket. I would appreciate your exert opinion .. Thank you Sir.

Can you still switch to your on SS benefit if you recieve the survivors benefit after age 70 because you are still working.

My husband passed 56 and I was 47. He was military for three years and I retired at 62. If you catch Social Security, not doing the Windex in when it should be done how do you go up against them to correct it?

Recently divorced at 64. (Married 25 years). My now ex-spouse took early retirement at 63 . (I'm waiting for FRA 66.8 or at 70.) Would I qualify for his FRA benefit once I reach FRA or half of his early benefit rate?

Please explain how SSB works if Surviving Spouse is 62 and drawing Benefits and Deceased Spouse was only 60. Is she eligible for survivor's Benefits and when?

Great video, but I still am confused regarding how they calculate survivor benefits: Is it just the benefit amount that the deceased worker was getting per month? My wife just passed away, and she was receiving retirement benefits equal to about 1/3 of my retirement benefit amount. Do I have the option of keeping my own retirement amount or will they change it to her amount (1/3 of mine)? Or is there another calculation that goes into it to make the survivor benefit something more equitable? Or do you just take the loss and keep your own retirement benefit. I have search SSA websites and can't find the answer. I hope you can provide some info on this. I'm worried.Thank you so much.

Can you speak about survival benefits for a divorced spouse. And is it possible to receive a benefit after the spouse has remarried to receive a spouse’s benefit from a past marriage.

Good day. Can a surviving spouse receive SBP, DIC, and Social Security Benefits at the same time. I know the surviving spouse can receive SBP and DIC at the same time but am not sure how Social Security is affected.

it all depends which ones dies first and when, etc. Assuming husband had the higher benefit, when he dies the wife would then switch over to survivor and get whatever amount he was getting, but that assumes she has by then reached FRA. If not, normally it's best for her to continue to receive her benefit until she reaches FRA and then SWITCH over to survivor benefit.

I have a question regarding full retirement age and the earnings limit as it applies to widow(er) benefits and retirement benefits. The full retirement age for a person born in 1955 for retirement benefits is 66 years and 2 months. However, the full retirement age for a person born in 1955 for widow(er) benefits is just 66 years. If a person continues to work and makes more than the earnings limit which of the two time frames (66 years 2 months or 66 years) is used to determine if the widow(er) benefits should be reduced by the earnings limit? In other words, if a person born in 1955 elects to received widow(er) benefits at age 66 will the benefits received for the first 2 months be reduced by the earnings limit?

7:39 is the one giving the higher benefit of the two used?

So if somebody is a widow because their spouse died at an early age before reaching full retirement could this person use windexing method. This person is now receiving only the parental benefit and their children are receiving benefits, but since they were married to the deceased could windexing still be used for parental benefit even though the spouse didn't reaching full retirement age preventing them from getting widows benefits?

Devin Carroll: I am receiving a settlement from a car accident soon, do I need to report it to Social Security? I am also selling my house, do I need to report that as well? I am on Survivors Benefits.

I started drawing my deceased husband's and later was given the choice to switch to mine which had growing. After receiving his for about 15 yr (while his has been increasing), can I revert to his benefits? If not, where is HIS money?

Why not calculate from the time they started working til death wouldn't it be higher in the long run???????

If he would or did receive $1, 000.00 per month in benefits and you receive $500.00 on your own benefit, you can only receive $500.00 of his benefit to make your benefit equal to what he would be receiving. That is so unfair to a surviving spouse. He worked to receive the benefit and the whole amount of it should go to the surviving spouse ! It is HIS MONEY ! WHERE IS THE BALANCE OF IT GOING??
