Have questions about Social Security spousal and survivor benefits? You’re not alone. They are among the most common types of questions we get at AARP and many will be answered in this free webinar. We’ll explore how spousal and survivor benefits (including same sex, domestic partnerships, and noncitizen) could impact your Social Security retirement benefits, what factors to consider, and how your decisions affect the size of your benefits.

We’ll discuss:  

• Whose earnings history to claim and when for the largest benefit  
• Who meets the eligibility criteria to collect Social Security  
• The impact of claiming age on benefits  
• Surviving spouse criteria (including deceased divorced spouses)  
• Divorced spouse benefits and the impact of remarrying  
• How working can impact your benefit  
• Factors you may not have considered yet
