What is the name of your state?FL
In the handbook I have it states "Each family member may be eligible for a monthly benefit that is up to half of your retirement or disability benefit amount. However there is a limit to the total amount of money that can be paid to your family. The limit VARIES, but is generally equal to about 150 to 180 percent of your retirement benefit."
1.How does SSA decide if it is 150% or 180%?
2.If disability, do they use the disability or retirement amount?
3.If retirement which amount, full or early?
I have so far not found this info on their web site but would like to know. Thank you for you time.
