Nope. That is not how it works.

Another answer:
It sounds to me like you could be confusing the Death Benefit with the Survivor Benefits. You can apply for a lump-sum death benefit ($255) through your local Social Security Office and it is separate from Survivor Benefits. The Survivors Benefit is a monthly payout.
Yes, under certain circumstances. A widow or widower who is disabled may collect survivors' benefits as early as age 50; however, the widow(er) must be at least 60 years old to collect survivors' retirement benefits. If the widow(er) has not yet reached full retirement age (65 for people born before 1943; 66 for people born between 1943 and 1954), the benefit will be reduced. A spouse or divorced spouse of any age may collect survivors' benefits if caring for the deceased person's minor children who are under age 16. Ex-spouses are also eligible for survivors' benefits, using the guidelines above, if the marriage lasted at least ten years.
Due to an increase in your other income. Due to a reclassification as partial disability instead of a full disability.
Which law offers full coverage for retirees, dependent survivors, and disabled persons
If you were born in 1946, full retirement age for Social Security benefits is 66 years and 4 months. This means you can start receiving your full Social Security retirement benefits without any reduction in payments. However, you may choose to begin receiving reduced benefits as early as age 62, or delay benefits until age 70 to increase the monthly payment amount.
REGISTER: Sign up for something, such as register here so you have a username and full benefits instead of remaining a guest.
Possibly a lesser monthly payment perhaps, but no reduction in the total amount owed.
