Can you claim social security on your spouse's behalf if he passes away?


My father just passed and now I am trying to find out if my mother can draw his social security benefits. He was receiving disability already.

She should be eligible for half of his SS benefits. That is the way it worked with my Mom anyway. Call the SS Admin in your area, they will be able to answer all of your questions.

She can receive Socialist Insecurity based on his earnings. If a person dies with no dependents, all of the money taken from them, allegedly for their retirement, is confiscated by the federal government. If a private company did this, it would be called "Larceny by Conversion" and prosecuted as a crime.

I believe that she can but maybe you should direct that question to the social security office and if they tell you no ask a lawyer that handles social security cases.

Get your Mom down to the Social Security office. I think she can get some of his benefits. Worth having her talk it over with them.

She will be able to base HER Social Security retirement income on his earnings.
