These are two examples of what a survivor would receive; Widow or widower , full retirement age or older 100 percent of the deceased worker 's benefit amount. and Widow or widower age 60 full retirement age 71 to 99 percent of the deceased worker 's basic amount
thanks I am super clear with the examples. Is there any other stipulation?

Another question about survivor benefits, what if they were actually receiving benefits and someone got them after the person dies?
