Survivor annuity and Social Security

0

Q. I’m a CSRS employee. When I die after retirement, will my wife get full annuity payments if she is drawing Social Security, or is there a windfall elimination?

A. The fact that she is receiving a Social Security benefit won’t have any effect on her entitlement to a CSRS survivor annuity.
