If you and your spouse have been married for at least 10 years, she will be eligible for a Survivor Social Security Benefit monthly check if you are deceased, and if she is age 62. But if she is disabled, she may qualify to draw it at an earlier age. You can phone your social security office or go online to be sure though, which I recommend.

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.
