We reviewed mother/father and disabled widow(er) beneficiaries who were at, or beyond, full retirement age as of February 2024 to determine whether the Social Security Administration (SSA) had appropriately converted their benefit type to widow(er)s. We identified 757 widow(er)s who were not converted. As a result, SSA may be underpaying these beneficiaries.
