Will income from IRA affect social security widow benefit?

Question

I will be a 60 years old in 2 years. I am a widow.
I plan to apply for my survivors benefit at 60.
My husband was recieving $2500. per month from social security at the time of his death along with IRA distributions and
a monthly non-government pension.
My question is this...if i am collecting $2500. per month from my IRA distribution will that decrease my benefit? I do not work. all my income is "passive."

Answer 1

IRA income is passive also so it may make some SS taxable it won't reduce the benefit.
