Widows Who Work

Widows Who Work

 

Widows and widowers have a hard enough time navigating life after the passing of a spouse.  Did you know that if a widow or widower marries again, they could impact their social security benefits?  Did you know a widow or widower who works while claiming Social Security may have implications due to his or her income?  

 

I don’t claim to have all the answers, but resources are my key.  

 

Here is a very helpful (and lengthy resource) from the Social Security Administration.

 

I also always advise my clients to contact the Social Security Administration Office directly to speak with an agent.  I have found they are very helpful and knowledgeable.  This also takes any guesswork out of financial planning correctly.
