There's a limit but it varies. Generally, it's between 150 and 180 percent of the basic benefit rate.
Is this limit more than the sum of the benefits payable to your family members?
It's not
What if my spouse remarries after turning 60?
if your surviving spouse remarries after turning 60 they would still qualify for the Social Security benefits on your Social Security record.
How many credits do I have to earn so my family members get the benefits from Social Security after my death?
It depends on your age when you die, but nobody needs more than 40 credits and 10 years of work to be eligible for any social security benefit.
Is there a way to calculate how much my family would get if I die right now?
You can use our online Benefit Calculators for an estimate.
And what if my widow remarries and her current husband is also a Social Security beneficiary with a higher amount on his record?.
In that case, she should apply to her current husband benefits and the amount she'd get would be a combination of benefits that equals the higher amount.
So it would be recommendable that she applies for her current husband Social Security benefits too.
