I want to calculate some benefits
================
Did you want to find the estimated amount of the retirement benefit your spouse would be eligible to receive at full retirement age?
no I was looking for something else
Did you want to know how to do the calculations?
no I don't know some of the numbers I would probably need
================
You won't be able to get a good estimate of the benefits if you don't know some of those numbers.
================
so the GPO reduces or can reduce benefits?
It can reduce any Social Security benefits you may be eligible to receive on your spouse's record under certain circumstances.
================
can I come back and do some estimates once I get those numbers I need?
Yes, you can call our toll free number at 1-800-772-1213, or contact your local Social Security office for more help.
================
once I get those numbers what would I subtract something to get something else?
Subtract the estimated amount of your retirement benefit from the estimated amount of your spouse'sbenefit before GPO. Enter that amount in Step # 2 of "Calculate Your Benefits" and select "Compute"
