Both social security and railroad retirement are federal benefit programs, but they have different eligibility requirements and rules for benefits. If a spouse worked in a job covered by the Railroad Retirement program and in a job covered by Social Security, they may be able to receive benefits from both programs.<\/p>\n<p>One key factor to consider is the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), which can affect the amount of benefits a spouse can receive from both programs. The GPO reduces a spouse&#8217;s social security benefit by two-thirds of their railroad retirement benefit, while the WEP can reduce a spouse&#8217;s social security benefit if they also receive a pension from a job not covered by social security.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important for spouses to understand how these provisions may impact their benefits and to plan accordingly for their retirement income.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Can_a_spouse_who_has_never_worked_receive_social_security_or_railroad_retirement_benefits\"><\/span>1.
