I’m waiting on an attorney to call me back on this, but was hoping somebody on here might have some insight. My Pawpaw passed away very recently and I’m unsure what my Mawmaw will receive in terms of benefits. He drew about $1,000 per month on social security and she drew a smaller amount individually. He also received around $1,000 per month from a state pension (he was a state prison guard). Will she receive a reduced amount in social security and will she be able to draw anything off of his pension? Thanks in advance.

Generally she would take over his SS amount and give up her current one

But a state pension brings in special rules. That pension may or may not have survivor benefits .

If your Mawmaw is full retirement age she will get 100% of your Pawpaw's SS benefits.

If he bought the survivor benefit plan she will get a portion of his pension. If not, nothing.
