As a surviving spouse, you are entitled to a percentage of your deceased spouse’s Social Security benefits.

The amount of your monthly payment is based on a percentage of your deceased spouse’s benefits had he or she survived. The amount your spouse would have received is dependent on his or her earnings, thus the more money he or she earned, the higher your monthly payment.

Surviving spouses can begin collecting their deceased spouse’s full Social Security retirement benefits upon retirement age or begin receiving reduced benefits at age 60. If you are disabled, you may be able to receive your deceased spouse’s benefits at age 50.

Divorced spouses may also be able to collect Social Security survivors benefits.
