Do I Qualify For COLAs If I Receive Benefits On My Deceased Husband's Record?

Do I qualify for the COLA? I receive my deceased husband's benefits now.



Hi,

Yes. Social Security cost of living increases (COLA) apply to all types of benefits issued by the Social Security Administration, including widow's benefits.

Best, Jerry
