objectively and make appropriate choices, consider the
following steps.
Review Your Finances
Look at your entire financial picture – your assets,
investments, debts and income. If you and your spouse had
communicated well about your finances, and you shared
decisions, you hopefully won’t encounter any big surprises.
But if your spouse was the partner who mostly handled
financial matters, you may need to get up to speed quickly
on what you have and what you owe. And if your spouse
had provided a large amount of your household income, you
will also need to determine what changes you may need to
make to your lifestyle.
Address Insurance Issues
If you will receive a death benefit from your spouse’s
insurance policy, what will you do with the money? It may
prove helpful in funding your own retirement or meeting
other financial goals. But you’ll also want to be clear about
what other beneficiaries, such as your children, might receive.
And while you’re looking at insurance, you also might
want to look at your own policies – do you need to change
beneficiaries?
Review Your Social Security Options
If you are at least 60 and you were married at least nine
months, you may be entitled to Social Security survivor
benefits. (If you remarry before age 60, you typically cannot
receive survivor benefits, but you can reinstate them if this
subsequent marriage ends.) The amount of your survivor’s
benefits depends on your age and the age of your deceased
spouse. You can’t claim your deceased spouse’s benefits
along with your own retirement benefits, so if you qualify
for survivor and retirement benefits, you’ll receive the larger
amount. Depending on your situation, you might come out
ahead by delaying your retirement benefits, giving them the
chance to grow, while you accept survivor benefits. For more
details on receiving Social Security benefits, visit the Social
Security Administration’s website at www.ssa.gov.
