Can I draw her social security she pass away be for she could collect her married. For 40 years l collect I am 79 years old.

Hi,

If your wife is at least full retirement age (FRA) and one of you dies, the survivor would be eligible for the higher of your 2 benefit rates.

Best, Jerry

My husband passed away Dec 26, 2019. He was 58, I will be 65 this April. I am not ready to retire yet but everyone I know seems to think that I am eligible for survivor benefits, however, when I went to our local SS office I was told that unless I made $18,000 or less a year I am not eligible. Thank you.

Hi Larry, my question is My Wife and I are both 62 and disabled. My Wife worked for 40 years before becoming disabled and Me as well. And my question is if I die before my wife does what will she draw a month? My disabilty is more then hers is a month, so will she just draw mine because it’s more or what will she draw?

Hi,
At FRA I will start collecting survivors benefits on my husband record (he passed in 2017). I worked in the US while married but I am also working in Spain right now where I expect to collect a pension on my own record. I know there is a totalization agreement between both countries. My question is if I can use my US credits to increase my Spain pension without affection my survivor benefits. Thanks!

My son has autism and some other neurological issues, he is 19. We are applying for social security disability under his fathers (my husbands) deceased record disabled child under the age of 22. MY husband died in 2014 and Previously my son received benefits till he was 19 and half . My question is if he is found disabled how is this going to effect my widows benefit at age 60 that I am entitled to receive, I am 49?

I am currently on disability and am 60. My dad is 88. When he dies, can he leave me survivor benefits because I am disabled?

Hi,

I've been getting survivor benefits for about 19 years,I was disabled prior to marriage,I'm wondering if my spouse was still alive and he was getting his retirement,he would have turned 66 this year,am i eligible for any hire ss payment?

Hi,

Do the benefit limits imposed by the RIB-LIM create situations where the surviving spouse reaches the max widows benefit before FRA? I think the answer is yes although I have been told otherwise.

Hi,

If a spouse passes away & both drew SS due to the deceased passing from cancer what will the surviving spouse draw? Both had to draw ss before age 65 due to the illness. Thank You
