No, Pennsylvania is not one of the fourteen states that taxes Social Security benefits.
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.
Social security will provide plenty of money for most retirements.
You can generally still collect unemployment while collecting social security, unless it is social security disability...even then you still might be able to. I worked for the Unemployment Office & just an FYI, they do not know if you are on social security and are unable to check, so if you do not say anything, they will never know.
no one will get social security benifits
Social security statements can be found online from many different sources. The most reliable source is the official government website SSA, which allows one to look up their social security statement.
No one should worry about this. The Federal government is not about to let either of these programs end.
No. There really is no such thing as "unclaimed" Social Security benefits. If a person pays FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes but dies before he or she can collect benefits, his or her widow or widower and minor children, or adult children disabled before age 22 (if applicable) can collect monthly checks for survivors' benefits.Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect money from a parent's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund.It is possible that a deceased parent was due one monthly Social Security payment at the time of death. Under these circumstances, the benefit can be paid to the next of kin. For more information, see Sources and Related Links, below.
In most cases, people will not be able to receive social security disability if they move overseas. However, each case is different and there is no way to know until the Social Security Administration makes a decision.
Yes you can and most often are entitled to both. Each makes it's own separate decisions though. One doesn't automatically make you eligible for the other. You must apply for each one separately. Most people consult an attorney for military disability through service groups usually that can be found with offices at major VA hospitals.
No. A dead person cannot be sent social security and you cannot collect social security for another person, especially a dead one. ADDED: The above answer is in error. If you are a qualifying and eligible spouse or child of a deceased SS beneficiary you may be eligible. See: http://www.ssa.gov/ww&os2.htm
Generally yes, assuming you were legally married and didn't do them in. The surviving spouse can collect when they reach 62. If a surviving spouse is caring for a child who is receiving survivor benefits the spouse can also collect a benefit while the child is receiving benefits, and then it stops until the spouse is eligible for the retirement benefit.
