I did not get an answer

 

You can ask SSA to check if you would be better off by drawing a widow's pension and choose whichever one pays more, but you cannot simultaniously draw both a regular pension and a survivor's pension.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

You did not mention whether your ex-husband is alive or deceased.  If he is alive, you can draw on his record if one-half of his benefit is larger than your own; if he is deceased, you can draw on his benefit is his amount is larger than your own.

SS doesn't give benefits for that, I don't think. But most states have some kind of provision to pay a wage to caretakers, IE. people who care for the handicapped.

No benefits for son but to adoptive family. Call SSA 4 details on other coverage. Hope Obamacare doesn't kill SSA-Medicare. If that happens U get nothing.
