Could My Co-Worker Switch From Her Own Benefits To Spousal Benefits?
A work coworker is collecting signatures under her own benifits and would be able to collect more under her husbands benifits would she be able to switch to his
Hi,
I don't know what you're referring to by 'collecting signatures', but if your co-worker is drawing retirement benefits on her own record she couldn't switch to any other type of benefit. However, she could potentially become entitled to additional benefits (e.g. spouse's, widow's) on the record of a spouse or ex-spouse depending on their relative benefit rates.
Best, Jerry
