Do you want to know if you are eligible for increased benefits?
Yes.
Social Security's mission is to deliver services that meet the changing needs of the public.
Do you receive Social Security or SSI?
No, neither.
Has your spouse or ex-spouse died?
Yes, my ex-wife died some time ago.
Then you may become eligible for a higher Social Security benefit.
How can I find out if any of my family members are eligible for benefits based on another person's work?
You can check the information about benefits on the Social Security website. There's also the Benefit Eligibility Screening Tool (BEST) that you can use to find out if you or your family can get benefits that Social Security administers.
and what if I'm already receiving a survivor benefit from based on my dead wife's work?
