Ask Larry about Social Security:Loading...Can My Partner Get Social Security Widow's Benefits?​​Hi Larry, I am 65, still working but I'm not married to the woman I've been living with for 32 years. My husband's Social Security retirement benefit will be around $2,100 and mine would be about $1,200. My retirement benefit at 62 was $1,300 and is now $1,472 after having gone on disability before it converter to my retirement benefit at my FRA. If your mother dies before December 1, the Social Security benefit payment she receives in December will need to be returned.
