Dear Roseanne,
I am CSRS employee with 34 years of a mix of ptr, non-traditional and full time service. I am retiring in November, 2017. I only have 38 quarters for SS. Should I return to work for the two quarters?. I understand that it will be reduced. Also my husband is retired and turning 65. He has his own pension and started collecting SS at age 62. Should I keep him on my health insurance or should he get his own insurance and Part B? Thank you.
