Washington, DC - "Ask Rusty" Maximizing Widow's Benefits - Dear Rusty: I am 64 years old, born in October of 1952, and in rapidly declining health. I took my Social Security early, as soon as I was 62, and now get $1838 per month in Social Security benefits (before Medicare premiums are taken out). My wife of many years also took her Social Security at age 62 and she gets $787 a month. From what I understand, when I pass away she will get my full benefit instead of what she gets now. I'm hoping that's true because she won't be able to make it with only $787 a month. ~ Planning for her.
