Question: how much is survivor benefits?
Answer: The flat-rate benefit is $193.66 for 2019. Using this formula, the maximum <65 survivor's pension for 2019 would be $626.63 (37.5% of $1,154.58 + $193.66) For a surviving spouse over age 65 (>65), a survivor's pension on its own would be 60% of the calculated retirement pension of the deceased contributor.
