Not if the widow's benefit is also SSN. You get one or the other, usually you can chose the one that is of more value.

What papers does a widow need to collect social security?

I had this happen to me in 1975, so I might be out-of-date. You will need the death certificate, your marriage certificate, both your and his social security number/card. File as soon as you can collect these items. Widows without children will not draw, normally, until she becomes 60. I believe you may file a few months before, but you won't get a check until then.

Additionally, an applicant may be entitled to file for social security retirement benefits on the record of another individual as a divorced spouse or widowed spouse provided they were were married to that individual for ten years or more. Widows and Widowers may be entitled to a survivor benefit at the age of sixty provided they have not remarried before the age of 60. Also, a disabled widow or widower may receive a disability benefit on the record of a deceased spouse at age 50 provided they have not remarried prior to age 50.


How much do you get in widow's benefits from social security?

There is no widows benefits given. The only check you will get as a widow is a burial check in the amount of $250.00. You have to report his date of death to the social security office.
