A 63-year-old widow with a $900,000 IRA lost about $56,000 by claiming her larger Social Security survivor benefit first instead of her smaller retirement benefit. The Social Security Administration's audit found many widows could gain an average of $21,000 by claiming benefits in the optimal order—starting with their own reduced retirement benefit and switching later to the survivor benefit. This strategy requires bridging income from savings or an IRA for several years but pays off if the widow lives past 76. Widows should carefully evaluate their health, savings, and their late spouse's claim history to decide the best filing order.
