A close friend passed away this week. They had sold their house but it hadn't closed yet.
He was 61, so hadn't started social security yet and was still working for the city.
Has anyone had any experience along these lines? Would she be eligible for survivor's benefit from ss even though he didn't make it to 62?
He was about to retire, but still working. Would his pension just go away, or would she be able to get that?
I haven't brought these things up with her as she's still in shock.
