Are you planning on retiring?
Yes, I am.
Do you know they can provide benefits if you become disabled?
Yes, I know this.
Do you know when you die they can provide benefits?
Yes, I do know this also.
Then you know that you, your spouse, and other family members of your family can get benefits from Social Security.
I'd like to ask another question about social security benefits. If I've been supporting my parents, can they receive benefits on my record?
Yes, but you must have provided at least half of their support. Also, your parents can't be eligible to receive retirement benefits higher than they receive from you.
So, if my widower remarries and starts receiving benefits from his new spouse, he will receive benefits from both of us?
