Will My PERA Pension Affect My Husband's Benefits?

If I collect a state PERA pension under which I did not pay social security will my husband be able to collect hus full social security for which he worked 48 yrs?



Hi,

You can rest easy. Your PERA pension will have no effect on your husband's Social Security retirement benefits.

Best, Jerry
