No, I don't think so. But I'm not an expert. Your father should ask at the Social Security Office, they will know.

Your father will get a certain amount from her social security. It won't be anything like she would have gotten if he was the one who passed away. Also, he will get a small burial stipend from social security, as well. Might pay for the flowers, but that's about it.

In the US: Your father should be able to collect benefits on you mother's record PROVIDED he does not remarry prior to age 60. When he becomes eligible for benefits, her earnings will be taken into account in calculating his benefit amount. He can call or visit the Social Security Administration and they will explain it OR you can look on http://www.ssa.gov/
In Canada: It depends, check: http://www.sdc.gc.ca/asp/gateway.asp?hr=en/isp/pub/oas/allowsurv.shtml&hs=ozs

Go to your local social security and ask! Also you may get some information from the SS website.
