Dear Pamela: The only reason I can think of that would cancel any SS widows benefits , is that she earned more money than your father. Have her find out what his benefit would be and then take 2/3's of her federal pension from that. The balance would be what her SS widows benefits would be. The reason that your dad's sister has different benefits, is that she probably reached her age limit before the laws were passed. Find out if she was exempt from the 2/3's offset law. Carol
