Reducing benefits based upon a spouse's pension not covered under Social Security
|
Is my Social Security retirement or disability benefit reduced if my spouse receives a pension based on work not covered under Social Security? |
|
The Social Security retirement or disability benefit you receive based on your own earnings under Social Security is not reduced if your spouse receives a pension based on his or her non-covered work. In addition, if you become eligible for your deceased spouse's pension based on non-covered work, the pension will not affect the Social Security benefit you receive based on your own earnings.
