Hi. You can't draw more than one full Social Security benefit at the same time. If you're already drawing your own benefits, then you could only qualify for additional widow's benefits if your widow's rate is higher than your own benefit rate. You haven't furnished enough information for me to be able to give you any definite advice, but it sounds like you should probably get in touch with Social Security to see if you might qualify for any additional benefits from your deceased husband's account.

Best, Jerry
