Hi Larry,

If I start receiving a widow's benefit at age 60, can I defer my own Social Security and let it continue to grow?

Hi,

Yes. Normally, you would want to start out drawing the lower benefit first and then switch to the higher benefit when it reaches it's highest potential rate. Our software (https://maximizemysocialsecurity.com/purchase) could help sort all of this out for you so that you can determine the best strategy for maximizing your benefits.

Best, Jerry
