    The best way for him to know the correct answers to these questions would be for him to call the social security administration and ask... they know all the particulars of work credits and such on his record, which we do not know .

    He can apply for Survivors Benefits which would be his deceased wife's social security, if she has a work history.

    He cannot get social security for his children. The deceased wife was their step-mother and the children are living with their biological mother.
