I'm sorry for your loss. And unfortunately I doubt that you'd qualify for social security benefits or if you did, that you wouldn't get much for benefits. I have attached links to social security benefits for both yourself and survivor, and also to the Social Security Administration itself for you to check into. Contacting them directly would probably be your best bet for a 100% correct answer. Social Security has a toll-free number that operates from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday: 1-800-772-1213.

Without a child, you would qualify for benefits when you retire (no earlier than age 60). With a child, you will qualify for benefits from he time the child is born until he or she turns 16.
The child will also qualify for benefits, from birth until 18 or 19 (if still in high school after 18).

You should qualify for widows benefits and the baby should also be qualified. The process is very easy to go thru. The amount you both should receive will vary depending on the amount of social security he has paid in. I was married to my husband for 5 years when he died. My two oldest sons, which were his step-sons, also receive benefits beings he was their sole financial provider for more than half of their lives.

You have to be married for ten years to get Social Security benefits for you husband. You might get 250 dollars in death benefits. The child will probably qualify for benefits.

IF YOU LIVE IN A COMMON LAW STATE YOU WILL QUALIFY FOR FULL BENEFITS. SSA requires marriage of 10yrs formal or common law can be combined if your state has common law. if not, you might be able to qualify for partial benefits. if you have a 10 yr employment history you can qualify on your own merit. SSA has a toll free phone number where you can get a professional concise answer.. phone # in web: first gov.com
