Government pension offset

0

Q. My husband passed away two years ago and, because I retired with a California Public Employees’ Retirement System pension, I am not eligible to receive his Social Security benefit because of the government pension offset. When I reach full retirement age (66), does the GPO still apply?

A. Yes.
