Yes. Survivors' benefits are intended to ease the financial strain of losing the deceased spouse's or parent's income, they are not intended to force a family to live off Social Security alone.
However, earned income may affect the amount a Survivor can receive in benefits. Because the formulas used to calculate survivors' benefits are complex and dependent on many variables, it is important to discuss the matter directly with the Social Security Administration.
You can speak with a Social Security Representative by calling 1-800-772-1213 Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm. This is an automated information line, so be prepared to jump through some hoops before you reach a live representative.
