Social Security will not combine a late spouse's benefit and your own and pay you both. When you are eligible for two benefits, such as a survivor benefit and a retirement payment, Social Security doesn't add them together but rather pays you the higher of the two amounts.

When you are eligible for two benefits, such as a survivor benefit and a retirement payment, Social Security doesn’t add them together but rather pays you the higher of the two amounts. If that’s the retirement benefit, then the retirement benefit is all you’ll get. If the survivor benefit is higher, Social Security pays the retirement benefit first and tops it up to match the amount of the survivor benefit.

Join Now Whether that survivor benefit exceeds your own Social Security payment will depend on the amount of your late spouse’s benefit and your own age and family situation. You are entitled to: 100 percent of the deceased’s benefit if you have reached your full retirement age. (That's 66 for survivors born between 1945 and 1956 and will gradually rise to 67 over the next several years). 71.5 percent to 99 percent if you are between 60 — in most cases, the earliest you can draw survivor benefits — and full retirement age. (If you are disabled, the minimum age is 50.) 75 percent if you are caring for a child from the marriage who is under 16 or disabled, regardless of your own age.

Read More »Survivor contestants really do “brush” their teeth with sticks and while they may have had their teeth whitened before the show to help maintain that health glow, the chewing stick really helps too.
Can you really use a stick to clean your teeth and if so, will it cause harm to your teeth and enamel? If you were ever curious about whether this is a possibility vs. a “made for TV reality moment” then read on! It goes without saying that a dentist would certainly never recommend scraping your teeth with sticks but at its core (and we’ve talked about toothbrushes before) a toothbrush does perform a similar function. It brushes away at the surface of the tooth removing food and debris and helping to prevent the build up of plaque and bacteria. In the absence of a toothbrush – perhaps a stick really is the next best thing. Chewing sticks have actually been in use for centuries and Brushing your teeth Survivor Style has been a thing. Traditional people from around the globe have utilized indigenous plants and trees to fashion natural tooth brushes. Understanding the environment around them, ancient peoples used twigs that contained natural healing properties, often from such trees as the Eucalyptus, Oak, Fir or Juniper. In parts of Africa, chew sticks are made from the “salvadora persica” tree which is actually otherwise known as the “toothbrush tree.” Wikipedia. When these twigs/sticks are used properly, with care and caution, the chewing stick has actually been shown in some research studies to outrank the toothbrush in terms of its effectiveness! Certainly they are an easy and disposable alternative under certain conditions where access to safe, clean, drinking water and/or where more “modern” approaches to tooth care are unavailable.
