Can you help me with planing the benefits for my survivors?
Are you planning for the future of your survivors?
Not right now.
But I want to know if my family would get any help from Social Security after my passing.
yes, Social Security can help your family if you have earned enough credits through your work.
================
And what about my widow, what benefits would she receive?
She can get reduced benefits as early as age 60 or full benefits at full retirement age. If she's 50 years old she could get the benefits if she's disabled and her disability started 7 years or earlier before your death.
================
what if she remarries after my death?
if she remarries after age 60, 50 if disabled, she would still qualify for the benefits on your social security records.
And if she receives a pension not covered by Social Security?
If it's a pension based on work then their Social Security benefits as a survivor could be affected.
