Hi Larry,
Can I apply my deceased husbands( survivor benefit) ssi at 65 then change my own ssi at 70?
Thank you.
Hi. Yes, you could potentially file for widow's benefits as early as age 60 while waiting until age 70 to apply for your own benefits. Your best filing strategy depends on the comparative amounts of your survivor and retirement benefits, and how much you'll be earning if you work prior to reaching full retirement age (FRA). It sounds like you should strongly consider using our software (https://maximizemysocialsecurity.com/purchase) to fully analyze your options so that you can determine your best strategy for maximizing your benefits.
Best, Jerry
