Will My Social Security Payment Be Altered Because Of The PERS Pension I Receive?

I am receiving a pension from PERS from my ex-husband's employment. He is now retired. I receive
a monthly disbursement. Will my social security payment be altered because of this PERS pension?
Thank you.



Hi,

No. Since your PERS pension is based on your ex-husband's work and not your own, it wouldn't affect your Social Security benefits.

Best, Jerry
