Will My Wife's Military Survivor Benefits Be Reduced By Her SS, Or Vice Versa?
I receive a military pension and participate in the SBP for my wife. I also receive Social Security payments and my wife does also off of my SS benefits. When I pass and my wife starts receiving annuitant pay through the SBP program, will her survivor benefits from SS be reduced or vice versa? I cannot find the answer any where on the web.
Hi,
My expertise is limited to Social Security benefits, not military benefits. What I can tell you is that if your wife receives a survivor pension from the military, it will have absolutely no effect on her Social Security widow's benefits. However, I don't know what effect, if any, Social Security benefits might have on any other type of benefits that you or your wife may receive.
Best, Jerry
