Will My Retiring Cause My Wife To Lose Some Of Her Benefits?

My wife receives disability {SSDI] and I am reaching retirement age. I have worked with a handicap all my life and have remained active, but now it is beginning to make it hard to continue my active job and so I am considering retiring at 62. Will my retiring make my wife loose some of her income?



Hi,

No, your retirement wouldn't have any effect on your wife's Social Security disability benefits.

Best, Jerry
