Widows social security benefits
I receive a pension from my job (now retired). If my husband dies am I entitled to his social security?
Terry Says
Yes, if it is larger than your own SS benefit (if any). And his benefit to you will likely be reduced if that pension comes from a teaching career or other public service employment.
