My husband passed away and his SSDI was used as the main source of income for our household. Can I still receive his benefits?

If your spouse was receiving social security disability benefits and he passed away, you may still be entitled to continue receiving those benefits. Generally, you will receive fifty-percent of the total benefit that your spouse was receiving. If you have children, they may also be entitled to continue receiving SSI benefits on the basis of having had a disabled parent. You should speak with a social security disability benefits attorney who can help you determine what benefits, if any, you are entitled to on the basis of your spouse's disability and death.
