Q: My husband of 49 years died a few months ago. I filed for widow’s benefits and started receiving them with no problem. But I got a letter telling me that I was not eligible for the $255 death benefit. When I called the Social Security people to ask about this, they told me that I wasn’t due that one-time benefit because we were not living together when he died. I’m ashamed to admit that my husband had been living with another woman for several years before he died. But it seems odd to me that I can get his monthly widow’s benefits, but I can’t get the burial benefit. Can you explain this?
