Did I Choose The Correct Filing Plan?
Hi. I am 66 years old. I am a widow. I am still working full time. I went into the Social Security office in March 2016. They recommended I begin drawing my husband's Social Security. I delayed mine until age 70. I plan to continue working. I am a nurse. Does that sound like a plan that you would approve ?
Hi,
Yes, that sounds like a good plan, particularly if your own benefit rate will be higher than your widow's rate when you reach age 70.
Best, Jerry
