The Social Security Administration can help determine your specific eligibility when you call 1-800-772-1213.
Can I apply for SSA survivor benefits online?

How much will I receive in survivor benefits?
Benefit amounts are based on the deceased's lifetime earnings record. A surviving spouse at full retirement age may receive 100% of the deceased's benefit. Amounts are reduced for early claiming and subject to the family maximum.
Does a life insurance policy affect my SSA survivor benefits?

What is final expense insurance and who needs it?
Final expense insurance is a small whole life policy designed to cover funeral and burial costs, which average $9,000 to $12,000. The SSA's $255 lump-sum death benefit covers roughly 2–3% of that amount. Most applicants over 50 qualify without a medical exam.
