A question about dead husband's social security benefits?
My husband and I was still married for almost 10 years when he died the 1st of this month. Does anyone know what I am entitled to? I am the only woman he was ever married to. At the time of his death he was drawing Veteran's Pension. I don't know anything about any of this and I would certainly be so grateful if someone could please give me some advice. Thank you so much! Yes, we were still married when he passed away and no we were not legally separated.

Social Security will pay a widow's benefit if your husband worked enough under Social Security to be fully insured. You must be at least age 60 or age 50 and totally disabled. If you were living together when he died, you are entitled to the one time death benefit of $255 You should call Social Security to apply at 1-800-772-1213.
