Below are the different payment categories for surviving ex-spouse benefits:
If you are at or above full retirement age, you will receive 100% of your deceased ex-spouse's SSDI or retirement benefit. If you are between the ages of 60 and full retirement age, you will receive in the range of 71.5% to 99% of your deceased ex-spouse's SSDI or retirement benefit. If you are between the ages of 50 and 59 and disabled, you will receive 71.5% of your deceased ex-spouse's SSDI or retirement benefits. You must have become disabled before your ex-spouse died or within seven years of their death. If you are caring for a child under the age of 16 years old who is receiving dependents benefits on your deceased ex-spouse's record, you will receive 75% of your deceased ex-spouse's SSDI or retirement benefit, subject to the maximum family benefit.
The concepts of solvency, sustainability, and budget impact are common in discussions of Social Security, but are not well understood. Currently, the Social Security Board of Trustees projects program cost to rise by 2035 so that taxes will be enough to pay for only 75 percent of scheduled benefits. This increase in cost results from population aging, not because we are living longer, but because birth rates dropped from three to two children per woman. Importantly, this shortfall is basically stable after 2035; adjustments to taxes or benefits that offset the effects of the lower birth rate may restore solvency for the Social Security program on a sustainable basis for the foreseeable future. Finally, as Treasury debt securities (trust fund assets) are redeemed in the future, they will just be replaced with public debt. If trust fund assets are exhausted without reform, benefits will necessarily be lowered with no effect on budget deficits.
