My wife and I both draw social security. If one of us dies will the living spouse draw any or part of the deceased social security benefit?

Basically, you draw benefits based on the highest possibility. So, if you would die first, depending on if your benefit or her benefit would be higher, the payments would be based on that one. They give you the higher of the two.

The key: your age when your spouse dies. If you already have reached your "full retirement age" (as defined by Social Security) when your spouse dies, you generally will be eligible to receive your deceased partner's full benefit. This assumes that your deceased partner's benefit is larger than your current one, based on your earnings history. But if you haven't reached full retirement age when your spouse dies, you will be eligible for somewhat less than 100% of the deceased partner's benefit.
