Are you going to apply for retirement benefits for you and as spouse?
No ,i'm just asking out for curiosity.
Ok.Now, are your benefits as spouse higher than your own retirement benefits?
Yes, they are.
If that's the case, you'll get a combination of those benefits but equaling the higher benefit.
If you are impacted by the GPO, I also hope to find out what details you need to measure your benefits. What do I do to calculate my future spouse's GPO benefits?
You need the estimated gross monthly amount of your pension for your government job not covered by Social Security and the monthly amount of your Social Security benefit as a spouse before the effect of GPO.
Will I be eligible for Social Security retirement benefit based on my own earnings?
Do you have a higher benefit based on your spouse's earnings?
