CSRS Offset and increase in Social Security

0

Q. I am 67 and have been retired under CSRS Offset. Husband will retire at 66 (nongovernment retirement).  Will I be entitled to an increase in the Social Security amount of my retirement annuity under spouses’ benefits?

A. You would receive a Social Security benefit that is equal to the larger of the two benefits, either your own or your husband’s.
