I am an ex/wife of a man who I was married to for 12 years, his second wife has died. Can I collect on his social security when he passes away?
Answer: Yes
The current social security working limit is 18,960 per year for individuals under full retirement age. If a person receiving social security benefits earns more than this limit, their benefits may be reduced. This limit helps ensure that individuals who are still working do not receive more in total income than if they were fully retired.
You cannot collapse your Social Security trust account. Social Security is a government-administered program that provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to eligible individuals based on their work history and contributions. The funds in your Social Security account are used to pay benefits to current beneficiaries and will be available to you when you become eligible to receive benefits.

These funds are then used to pay benefits to current retirees. When the younger workers themselves retire, the next generation of workers will contribute to their benefits.
