Social Security Denying you survivor's benefits?
Retirees are denied Survivor's Benefits, because they collect retirement from Teachers, Railroad, State, County, Federal systems! Help me fight for your rights! Others who collect retirement from other sources are entitled to Survivors Benefits.
Why is this important?
My husband died recently and his social security income was cut off immediately, reducing my household income in half and leaving me with a 3,000 a month mortgage. I was informed that I am not eligible for his social security survivor's benefits because I receive teacher's retirement. Others who receive retirement benefits from other sources are entitled to social security, but not public servants. The rules should apply to everyone. State, County, Federal, and railroad retirees deserve better. Sign up to change this pernicious policy implemented by Pres. Reagan.
