Can you opt in later? Maybe Not…
Can you opt in later? Maybe Not…
In discussions about survivor benefits during a workshop, it was clarified that once retired, individuals cannot easily rejoin the benefits system later.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
– The only workaround to opt in to survivor benefits after retiring is by getting married.
– Retirement paperwork is binding, so it’s crucial to carefully consider and select the correct benefits initially.
– Each benefit has its own rules and exceptions, so it’s important to understand them before making choices.
– Making changes to benefits after retirement may not always be possible, so it’s best to be well-informed beforehand.
