Dear Jat:
If you are over 60 and you were married for at least 9 months, then you are probably entitled to widows benefits. Whether or not you will receive anything is depending on what kind of income you receive. If you have a high income, then
after you subtract the $14160 from your yearly income and divide by 2 then divide by your benefit amount and see if there are more than 12 months. If there are, then you would not be payable anything. But if you would get 6 or more checks, you should think about it. Widows have options that other wifes dont. Do call SS and make an appointment of you are over 60 and have lower earnings......Carol
