When my spouse passes away do I receive his tier 1 and tier 2 and lose mine?
You contradicted yourself. You said that someone you knew that his wife could collect Social Security on top of her railroad retirement that they made an extra $600 a month. Then you went on in the next segment and said that you cannot collect Social Security and railroad retirement. Which is it? Can a spouse collect Social Security and railroad retirement?
John … if I start collecting RRB at 67 (FRA) does that mean that my Tier 2 benefits (eligible at 65 ) are lost (24 payments) for waiting 2 years?
Just to make sure I understood on one of the questions. If say my wife goes on SSI when I finally take my railroad retirement she can get both or her own social security and half of mine when she reaches her FRA.
Please help me collect my RR Benefits at age 62. Recently divorced spouse, he's 73, I'm gonna be 62 iMay.
I'm retired military and at over 20 railroad yrs. I'm 63 is waiting worth it . Physically I'm needing joint replacements. What are your thoughts on this scenario?
If you do well with a 401k, Roth, HSA over 30 years of service and retire early at 55 using your personal retirement accounts, is it worth it to wait to take RR til 70 if you can? Or start using RR at 60?
hi John sure need your help.. just found you tonight. I'm 63 and a half can I collect my social security now? don't think I'm retiring to end of year.
My wife is a school teacher and contributes to a Illinois state pension through TRS ? We live in Illinois and I wonder if she also will be able to get her railroad spousal benefit with her teachers pension ?
Awesome information, thank you!
Connection? U mentioned survivor benefits.. does that mean if u predecease spouse, they do not qualify to pick up the greater of the 2 monthly pension amounts before death?
