There are two kinds of benefits that loved ones left behind may be entitled to receive after the death of a spouse. These are: Widowed parent's allowance. Bereavement allowance and bereavement payment.
Widows and widowers Generally, spouses and ex-spouses become eligible for survivor benefits at age 60 50 if they are disabled provided they do not remarry before that age. These benefits are payable for life unless the spouse begins collecting a retirement benefit that is greater than the survivor benefit.
For Your Widow Or WidowerWidows and widowers can receive: Reduced benefits as early as age 60 or full benefits at full retirement age or older. If widows or widowers qualify for retirement benefits on their own record, they can switch to their own retirement benefit as early as age 62.
The earliest a widow or widower can start receiving Social Security survivors benefits based on age will remain at age 60. Widows or widowers benefits based on age can start any time between age 60 and full retirement age as a survivor.
Employees may also be eligible to receive Medicare benefits through a deceased spouse if that spouse had earned 40 credits prior to their death and they were married to them at the time of the spouse's death.
These are examples of the benefits that survivors may receive: Widow or widower, full retirement age or older 100 percent of the deceased worker's benefit amount. Widow or widower, age 60 full retirement age 71½ to 99 percent of the deceased worker's basic amount.
A surviving spouse can collect 100 percent of the late spouse's benefit if the survivor has reached full retirement age, but the amount will be lower if the deceased spouse claimed benefits before he or she reached full retirement age.
It takes 30 to 60 days for survivors benefits payments to start after they are approved, according to the agency's website.
If you are the widow or widower of a person who worked long enough under Social Security, you can: Receive full benefits at full retirement age for survivors or reduced benefits as early as age 60.
