K SOCIAL SECURITY Q&A FROMSEMORSCOA^^ By Dr. Robert J. Myers Dr Myers, one of the architects of the Social Security System in 1934, was Chief Actuary for the system for 23 years, 1947-70 He later became Deputy Commissioner, and in 1982-83 played a key role in averting the system’s financial failure He is currently chairman of the Board of Advisers of The Seniors Coalition. WHAT DO I DO? Dear Dr. Myers, I have a question I retired at the age of 62, having been married to my husband for 32 years. When I put in for my retirement, I was told that 1 would only draw mine and S4O from his earnings record He hadn't retired then He retired later at age 65. Seems like they reduced some of the S4O 1 receive from him, every time we get an increase on the first of each year He is married again Why couldn’t I draw much more of his retirement when he retired at age of 65? If he should pass away, would I be able to draw more of his retirement? Thank you. — Ms. S Baton Rouge, LA Dear Ms. S, In the case of a divorced wife who also has a benefit based on her own earnings record, a wife's benefit of a partial amount may also be payable if the divorced husband is at least age 62 regardless of whether he has retired and is receiving benefits. This partial amount is based on the excess (if any) of the full wife’s benefit over the benefit based on her own earnings if she claimed it first at age 65, if the partial amount is claimed first before age 65, it is reduced, based on the age then, and remains so as long as it is payable However, after (he divorced husband dies, a residual widow’s benefit (of a larger amount) will be payable Note Readers can send their questions about Social Security benefits to Dr Robert J Myers, Social Security Q&A, The Seniors Coalition, 11166 Main Street, Suite 302, Fairfax, Va 22030 We’re sorry not every question can be answered individually, but an attempt will be made to answer the most representative questions in this column
