Question I have just found this out from my mother---My 86 year old mother was ill-advised when she retired. She was told by a "friend" to take only her own Social Security rather than my father's--that she would get more money monthly that way.! Ha! She gets a mere $330 per month. My father recently passed 2 months ago. Can she still get his SS? Or is it too late to change it?
Answer Hi Barbara,
Your mom will be able to claim a social security survivor benefit which will be a percentage of your father's SS. At her age she should receive 100% according to the SS website. Here is a link the site with more info:
