Beth 0 Posted October 29, 2018 I am 68, currently receiving widow's benefits and I work full time. How can I determine what my monthly benefit will be when I switch to my own account next year - I expect it to be a higher monthly amount than I receive now. The calculator at SSA.gov doesn't work if you are already receiving widows benefits Beth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devin Carroll 1 Posted October 31, 2018 A representative at the SSA will have to help you with that. Call the national number for quicker service at 800-772-1213. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
