Q. Why is my mother only going to receive 55 percent of the survivor annuity amount? Why doesn’t she get the whole amount due?
Q. My just-deceased husband and I had been together for over 25 years. We were married for 13 years. Divorced, but lived together for nine years. Then we remarried for an additional three years. When he retired CSRS, he voluntarily elected survivor benefits for me as a former spouse. We didn’t remarry til I was 58. The election for survivor benefits states that it’s for me as a former spouse. Since the election was done when I was the former spouse, am I still entitled to receive the spousal benefits?
Q. I am considering remarrying. Would I still be able to collect retirement benefits and insurance provided by my deceased husband?
