Social Security Benefit Questions and Farm Info
A reader asks how earnings before 1950 affect benefits and whether widow benefits at 62 are reduced. Officials explain benefits use either 1950 earnings or all years, whichever yields higher. A widow can claim at 62 without reduction but benefits start at full rate. Having 40 quarters does not guarantee maximum benefit. benefits depend on average earnings. For farmer specifics, request booklet 864 from any Social Security office.
