If you are getting benefits based on your own work, call or visit Social Security, and they will check to see if you can get more money as a widow or widower. You will receive the higher benefit, not a combination of the two types of benefits. You will need to complete an application to switch to survivors benefits, and they will need to see your spouse’s death certificate.
