No, a domestic partner is not eligible for Social Security Survivor benefits. Only a legally married, opposite-sex spouse may collect such benefits, although under certain conditions a divorced spouse may also collect.

Not unless the jurisdiction (state) they lived in recognizes 'common-law' marriage. If the question concerns a same-sex domestic partner, then the answer is definitely no, since the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act prohibits federal recognition of same-sex relationships. Contact your local Social Security office or their 800 information number and ask about your particular situation.

No. The Social Security Administration ("SSA") only recognizes marriages, whether they be same-sex or opposite sex. The SSA does not recognize domestic partnerships or civil unions.
