How Do I Find Out How Much I Will Get For Widow's Benefits?

I WAS MARRIED TO MY EX HUSBAND FOR 14 1/2 YEARS HE WAS A DETECTIVE WITH JERSEY CITY POLICE HOW DO I FIND OUT NOW HOW MUCH I WILL GET FOR WIDOWS BENEFITS



Hi,

Assuming that you're referring to Social Security survivor benefits, the amount would depend on your husband's Social Security earnings history so you'd probably need to ask Social Security. They'll likely require proof of your relationship to your ex-spouse before releasing that type of information, though.

Best, Jerry
