We do have a survivors planner that you can use to see what best suits your particular situation.
What can I do if I do not have enough Social Security credits to qualify for benefits?
You can use one of our benefit calculators to estimate your future retirement, disability, and survivors benefits if you want an estimate.
If I have never worked, can I still qualify for spousal benefits?
You may still qualify for benefits if you are the spouse or divorced spouse of a retired worker even if you have never worked.
Am I eligible for benefits based on my ex-spouse?
Even if you never worked under Social Security, you may still qualify for benefits if you are the spouse or divorced spouse of a retired worker.
What about my benefits at the time of my passing?
You can use our Survivors Planner to learn how your family members will be protected if you die.
Do all workers with children have survivors' benefits?
