Default Seniors being shorted of social security benefits

(WATCH) Shorting Seniors | Sharyl Attkisson

A widow signing up for survivor's benefits and her own retirement benefits at the same time is called “dual enrollment." And too often, McAdams says, it’s not a good thing.

McAdams: It could be men, but it's typically widows — women — who applied for survivor benefits, and their claims were set up incorrectly. And, as a result, they've lost money for years, and they continue to lose hundreds of dollars every month.

I wonder if anyone here has seen this!
