Dual-Entitlement Conversion

Letter - Auxiliary or

Survivor Rate Terminated

 

Your next payment will be increased because of amendments to the Social Security Act. After that, the benefits you receive each month will be based on the new rate.

 

Under the law, you cannot receive monthly benefits on another person's social security earnings record if you are entitled to equal or larger benefits on your own earnings record. Since the increased benefit to which you are now entitled on your own earnings record equals or exceeds the benefit now established for you on the other earnings record, no further benefits are payable to you on that record.

 

*If you believe that this determination is not correct, you may request that your case be reexamined. If you want this reconsideration, you must request it not later than 60 days from the date you receive this notice. You may make any such request through any social security office. If additional evidence is available, you should submit it with your request.

 

*If you have questions about your claim, you may get in touch with any social security office. Most questions can be handled by telephone or by mail. If you visit the office, however, please take this letter with you.
