Survivor Benefits

July 28, 2009 by Guest

I am unclear as to whether I would receive all or a portion of my spouse's SSI benefits when he dies. At this time, he is retired and I am working with 10 years left before retirement. My SSI statement shows my SSI monthly benefit will be higher than my husband's current benefit when I retire. Does that mean that when I retire and if my husband dies, I will only continue to receive my SSI benefits and none of my husband's because my monthly benefit is higher?
