Can I collect both my Social Security and my deceased spouse’s?

Can I collect both my Social Security and my deceased spouse’s?

Social Security will not combine a late spouse’s benefit and your own and pay you both. When you are eligible for two benefits, such as a survivor benefit and a retirement payment, Social Security doesn’t add them together but rather pays you the higher of the two amounts. Mar 14, 2022
