This Insight provides links to selected CRS products and related resources that address some issues for older populations. Social Security Benefits During the COVID- 19 pandemic, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is continuing to pay benefits. Social Security offices are closed, but it is still possible to get help online and over the phone. Additional guidance is available from the SSA Coronavirus Landing Page. Individuals considering whether they are eligible for Social Security retirement or disability benefits on their own earnings records or as survivors of deceased workers may consult the following resources: * SSA (Workers): Your Options: Working, Applying for Retirement, or Both?; * SSA (Workers): Benefits Planner, Retirement; * SSA (Workers): Benefits Planner, Disability; * SSA (Survivors): Benefits Planner. Survivors; * CRS Report R44948, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Eligibility, Benefits, and Financing; and * CRS Report R44670, The Social Security Retirement Age. During the pandemic, some older Americans are returning to work as states and federal agencies recruit retirees, while others are newly unemployed. The following resources explain the intersection of employment status and Social Security: * SSA: Getting Benefits While Working; * SSA: FAQ: Will unemployment benefits affect my Social Security benefits? (4,27/2020); and * CRS Insight IN11352, Social Security Retirement Earnings Test (RET): Earnings Exemption for COVID-19-Related Work Response.
