Are you aware of the Government Pension Offset (GPO)?
Yes, I have heard of this but would need more information on it
Will you be in receipt of a pension for work that is not covered by Social Security?
Yes, that does apply to me
In this case, any benefits that you may be able to receive on your spouse's record may be reduced. This reduction is referred to as GPO
What information is required to calculate my benefits if I am affected by GPO?
There are two things required; we will need to know your gross monthly pension from your job that is not covered by Social Security and then the estimated monthly amount of your Social Security benefit as a spouse, widow or widower, before the effect of GPO
I just remember asking what the VA medical care is like. Thanks. Another problem, do you have any tools or assets to get a better understanding of these benefits?
Sure. You can use our planners in order to better understand them. Plus, you can choose a calculator to get some estimates.
Going back about survivor benefits, all young workers have access to it, isn't?
That's correct. As said before, is thought to be a protection for those young families in a worst case scenario.
Thanks, just wanted to be sure. Say,there is other ways to apply for benefits?
Sure. you can use our information page.
Ok. Now lets suppose you can't process my request via online, what happens next?
