     Hi Brenda, thanks for using our blog to ask your question. Typically, a divorced widow or widower at full (survivors) retirement age or older generally receives 100% of the deceased worker’s amount, a divorced widow or widower under full retirement age receives about 71 to 99 percent of the worker’s benefit amount, and a widow or widower with a child younger than age 16 receives 75 percent of the worker’s benefit amount. For more information about how much your benefit would be, visit our Survivors web page.

   My employer notified me that someone fraudulently applied for unemployment under my name. They told me I need to notify Social Security. I can’t find a form or number to speak to anyone on your site.

   I started receiving Social Security at age 62. I would like to know since I am now almost 67, do I qualify under deemed filing for part of my husband’s benefit?

     Hi Gerda, thanks for using our blog to ask your questions. You may be able to get additional spouse’s benefits once your husband files. We will always pay your own retirement benefit first. If your benefits as a spouse are higher than your own retirement benefits, you will get a combination of benefits equaling the higher spouse benefit. However, the spouse’s benefit cannot exceed one-half of your husband’s full retirement amount (not his reduced benefit amount). So, you can only receive additional spouse’s benefits if your own full retirement benefit (not your reduced benefit) is less than half of your husband’s full retirement benefit.

     Check out our Benefits For Your Spouse web page for additional details.

     Hi Melissa, thanks for using our blog. We are very sorry for your loss. There is a one-time lump-sum death payment of $255 that can be paid to the surviving spouse. You would need to call and make an appointment to file for that benefit. If you do not want to file for widow’s benefits at that time, you do not have to. Once you’re ready to receive widow’s benefits, you will need to call again to make an appointment.

     Check out our If You Are The Survivor web page for details. We hope this helps!
