Did you say your wife was receiving benefits?
Yeah, she was.
O.k. If that so, You must return the benefit received for the month of dead and any later months. So, if the deceased person received a benefit on July, you must return it on August.
Perfect. Now I need to ask something else about Social Security beneficiary. What if the amount my ex-husband receives in Social Security is more in Social Security than my widower?
In this case, he would receive a combination of benefits that equal the amount.
What if my ex-husband is entitled to his own retirement benefits?
He can then switch to his own retirement benefit.
If my widower is receiving benefits from me, what happens when he reaches retirement age?
Once he reaches retirement, he can switch to his benefits at an unreduced rate.
What happens to their benefits if my widower or ex-husband remarries?
If they remarry before the age of 60 or age 50, if disabled, he/she is not entitled to surviving spouse benefits while they are married.
How much would my family receive after my passing?
