Do We Qualify For More Benefits?

I retired mid Dec 2015 and turned 65 the end of March 2016. I started receiving SS in April 2016. My husband is 11 years older and has been receiving SS for a long while. I also receive spousal benefits. Neither of us work. I am now my husband's caregiver. We have IRAs totaling more than $27,250. Do we qualify for more?



Hi,

Based solely on the information in your question, it sounds like you are already receiving as much as you can get from Social Security.

Best, Jerry
