How does a young widow's income(income from employment) impact her and/or her child's benefit from her deceased husband?

Hi,

Benefits for a young widow with a child in care are subject to partial or full withholding under the Social Security earnings test (https://www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/whileworking2.html). However, the young widow's earnings would not affect the benefits payable to her children.

Best, Jerry
