If your spouse or even your ex has died, you can collect their benefit amount if it’s greater than your own. And you don’t have to wait until your full retirement age. You can receive payments starting at age 60, though the benefit will be reduced if you claim early.
The rules for determining your survivors benefit amount can be complicated and are based on your age, marital status, remarriage and other factors.
