Can I Draw Both My City Pension And My Husband's Railroad Spouse Pension?
Can I draw my city Pension and my husband's railroad spouse pension at the same time?
Hi,
My expertise is limited to Social Security benefits, so I can't answer questions about railroad benefits other than how they interact with Social Security. I do believe, though, that as with Social Security benefits, railroad spousal benefits can be subject to offset if a person is drawing a pension that's based on their work for a governmental agency. For more information, refer to the Railroad Retirement Board's website: https://www.rrb.gov/NewsRoom/NewsReleases/Q%26A%3A%20Railroad%20Retirement%20Spouse%20Benefits.
Best, Jerry
