If My Husband And I Are Both Drawing Benefits And One Of Us Dies, Would The Survivor Only Get One Benefit?
If both me and my husband are currently drawing Social security if a death occurs we would only get one pay out monthly correct.
Hi,
Yes, in most cases as long as the surviving member of a couple is at least full retirement age (FRA), they are paid roughly the higher of their two benefit rates.
Best, Jerry
