I'd like to know information on what other factors can influence the benefits of a widow?
There are several factor that can affect widow/widower's benefits. One of these is if they remarry before they reach the age of 60.
You generally will not need to file an application for survivors benefits .We 'll automatically change any monthly benefits you receive to survivors benefits after we receive the report of death .We may be able to pay the Special Lump - Sum Death Payment automatically .
Alright. Regarding my application. What if I come in or call and I'm missing some documents?
