Yes, under certain circumstances. A widow or widower who is disabled may collect survivors' benefits as early as age 50; however, the widow(er) must be at least 60 years old to collect survivors' retirement benefits. If the widow(er) has not yet reached full retirement age (65 for people born before 1943; 66 for people born between 1943 and 1954), the benefit will be reduced.
A spouse or divorced spouse of any age may collect survivors' benefits if caring for the deceased person's minor children who are under age 16.
Ex-spouses are also eligible for survivors' benefits, using the guidelines above, if the marriage lasted at least ten years.
No. There really is no such thing as "unused" benefits. If a person pays FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes but dies before he or she can collect benefits, his or her widow or widower and minor children, or adult children disabled before age 22 (if applicable) can collect monthly checks for survivors' benefits. Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect benefits from their mother's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund.
It is a federal tax to support the Social Security old age and survivors benefits and the Social Security Disability Income benefits.
