I get strsoh pension. Paid no social security. Can I get spousal benefits
Hi. If what you're collecting is a pension based on your earnings from a governmental agency in the U.S. (e.g. local, county, state, federal) and if those earnings were exempt from Social Security taxes, then any Social Security spousal or survivor benefits for which you'd otherwise be eligible would be offset by 2/3rds of the amount of your government pension. In that case, you could only be paid spousal or survivor benefits if those benefits amount to more than 2/3rds of the amount of your government pension (https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10007.pdf).
Best, Jerry
