Widow's pension

A widow's pension is a form of financial support provided to the surviving spouse after their partner's death. It's typically part of social security or pension schemes, meant to help the widow maintain a similar standard of living. The amount and eligibility depend on factors like the deceased's contributions, their relationship status, and local laws. Often, there are specific criteria such as duration of marriage or the widow's age. This benefit offers essential economic security, allowing widows to manage expenses and meet their ongoing financial needs following their spouse's passing.
