Let's assume I worked for a branch of government for about 15 years, about 40 years ago. FERS, not CSRS. And let's assume I get a small pension from that, say, 500 a month. I will be starting SS soon, past full retirement age. Will the 500 cause a reduction in my SS? When I die, will this affect my spouse?

Won’t get nothing until you reach retirement age. It shouldn’t because you paid into FURS which separate retirement, you wife will only get pension if you selected survive benifits based on how much you paid into to for 360 months (i think) based on how much she gets. Furs shouldn’t affect her SS be benifits
