When one spouse dies why can't they reimburse the surviving spouse the amount that the deceased spouse paid in over their working life? It would be like a life insurance payout. 🤔
I'm not sure how it went for others, but my mother passed away last year at the age of 63. When my Dad called the SS office to see if there is a widow's reimbursement since she paid into SS from 2003 - 2024 (retirement), they offered him a payout of $200.
