Are there benefits for widows of Soldiers medal recipients?
You would need to contact the Veteran's Administration or the branch of military the the soldier served in (Army I assume since you say soldier and not not marine or sailor). The benefits really don't depend on whether or not the veteran was a medal recipient. If he retired from the service the widow would receive pension or benefits. If he did not retire and only served for say four years the widow may still be able to get some veterans benefits. see links below
