How much would my family receive from Social Security after my death?
================
There's a limit but it varies. Generally, it's between 150 and 180 percent of the basic benefit rate.
Is this limit more than the sum of the benefits payable to your family members?

And what if my widow remarries and her current husband is also a Social Security beneficiary with a higher amount on his record?.
In that case, she should apply to her current husband benefits and the amount she'd get would be a combination of benefits that equals the higher amount.
So it would be recommendable that she applies for her current husband Social Security benefits too.
yes, that's correct.
