Legal Question in Social Security Law in Kansas

Re: social security check

The answer depends on whether your husband was drawing a disability or retirement check, and whether you were married for ten years. You should go to the local Social Security Office and report the death and they can explain your entitlements. If it was a retirement check and you were married for more than 10 years, then there should be no problem. You may also want to explore your estate planning options due to this major change in your family situation. Good luck.
