Thanks for reading.
So like the title says, my Mom died last month, and my brothers and I kind of gathered around my Dad to help him with paperwork. One of the areas that I helped him with was survivor's benefits. I read articles, listened to some podcasts, read the pamphlets, and generally took a lot of time to research it.
My Mom and Dad both drew social security. My Mom was born in 1945 and my Dad in 1946. As I understand it and from what I read, that should mean that my Dad would draw 100% survivor's benefits. Neither of them retired early.
So I was very confused when the SSA told my Dad he couldn't draw from my Mom's social security because he made more than her? I didn't see anything that stated that, and still haven't now that I've looked for it directly.
Any advice?
