Real Answers for Life’s Money Challenges
Im a 69-year-old woman who is retired.
My husband recently passed away, and received disability payments of $1,065 a month.
My question is which husband do I get benefits from?
Twice Widowed

If your own retirement benefit is higher, you could claim that one instead.
It sounds appealing right?
