An anonymous Salt Lake City widow asks if $150 a month can cover basic living costs, noting rents and utility needs. Letters from Minnesota and Utah readers reveal varied experiences, with some surviving on small Social Security or old age assistance while others question welfare funding and taxation of rent.
A reader from St Paul asks about a wife’s rights to half her husband’s Social Security. The guidance notes that at 65 she would be eligible, but claiming earlier reduces benefits by 6 percent each year. delaying to 65 yields higher totals, and if the wife claims on her own record at younger ages she may receive a smaller share.
