I am 64 years old and collecting my deceased husband's social security while working part time. If I were to go on disability due to hearing loss could I collect my disability and still get his social?
Hi,
You couldn't be paid both benefits in full. If a person becomes entitled to Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits after they start receiving widow's benefits, they can only be paid the higher two benefit rates. If your SSDI rate is higher than your widow's rate, your widow's benefits would stop. If your widow's rate is higher, you'd be paid your SSDI benefits plus a partial widow's benefit that would add up to your current widow's rate.
Best, Jerry
