Hello, good morning. I'm a recently widower and needed to know something. My wife was receiving social security benefits, so what happens now with those incomes?
================
Did you say your wife was receiving benefits?
Yeah, she was.
O.k. If that so, You must return the benefit received for the month of dead and any later months. So, if the deceased person received a benefit on July, you must return it on August.
================
That would make sense. Say, I'm going to receive government pension so it's not covered by social security. That could play something on my survivor benefits?
Sure, can do. On those cases, you SS benefits as survivor may well be affected.
================
Oh, well i thought that, thanks for confirming. With these kind of thing, is there a chance to any other member of my family could get benefits?
Yeah, under certain circumstances, certain family members are eligible, such as stepchild, grandchild, step grandchild or adopted child.
================
Who can get benefits from a worker?
Those benefits can be paid to the worker's children and spouse they can get them if the worker has credits at least for one-half year.
================
You said to me before that i should return the benefits of my deseaced spouse, is that right?
That's correct. You have to return them
