Can a person draw survial benefits and their social security benefits?
I worked for the Fed Govt for 35 yrs before that I worked and paid 48 quarters into Social Security, my wife worked for the Railroad and was covered by Railroad Retirement, we are now retired. My Social Security was reduced under the Windfall Elimination Clause of the Social Security Act. I was entitled to a portion of my wife's Railroad Retirement Benefits. The Railroad Retirement Board recently informed me that they were reducing my benefits because I have a Federal pension. This is a double hit, since my Social Security benefits have already been reduced by 45%? I have appealed this ruling and hope to have it reversed. Can they reduce both benefits due to a Federal pension being drawn?
At what age can a person is a person eligible for SS benefits if they are now receiving SSI and have enough work credits for regular SS pension benefits?
I BELIEVE YOU MUST REACH RETIREMENT AGE TO RECEIVE SOCIAL SECURITY RETIREMENT BENEFITS, HOWEVER, SINCE YOU ALREADY COLLECT, "SSI", I WOULD APPLY FOR "SSD", "DISABILITY BENEFITS", IF YOU ARE "DISABLED" AS PER "SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY "GUIDELINES" & "REQUIREMENTS". JOANNE 44 GOOD LUCK. * That would also depend upon the number of work quarters the person has accumulated. Visit Social Security Online, concerning retirement age and elgibility requirements and information concerning any SS benefits. http://www.ssa.gov

Can you receive Social Security disability benefits and Social Security retirement benefits at the same time?
No. The Social Security Administration will only pay one benefit -- either retirement or disability, but not both. If you qualify for disability before you reach full retirement age, your monthly benefit will automatically convert to retirement at the same monthly rate once you reach full retirement age.If you are already receiving early retirement, you do not qualify for disability because you've voluntarily elected not to work in return for a reduced monthly benefit.If you think your situation may present an exception, you can contact an SSA representative at 1-800-772-1213, Monday through Friday, 7:00 am - 7:00 pm EST, to discuss your options.

How do I stop Social Security payments and wait until I am 66?
You can contact the Social Security Administration and request they suspend benefits at any time; however, if you filed for early retirement (before age 66) and have already received cash benefits, you will have to repay the money to the Social Security Administration before your new wages will begin increasing your future benefit amount. If you don't return the money, then your benefit remains frozen at the rate you qualified for when you first filed your retirement claim.For example, if you retired at age 62, you would receive only 75% of the benefit you'd receive by waiting until your full retirement age of 66.If you were projected to receive a $1,000 monthly benefit at age 66, your monthly payment at age 62 would be only $750.This reduction is permanent, unless you repay the money you've already received from Social Security, in order to restart the retirement clock at zero.If you suspend retirement and are able to repay the benefits and continue working, your future benefits will be higher. At full retirement age (66) you would be eligible for 100% of your benefit; if you delay retirement until age 70, you would become eligible for an 8% increase for each year you remain employed, up to 132% at age 70 (benefits max out at 70).
