I did and got 3 different answers to the same question. It’s why I posted it here.

Yes, my question was regarding widowed spouses. Does the survivor get only their own SS payment, the higher of their own or their deceased spouse's SS, or is there a formula for a partial increase if the lower paid is the survivor?

You can collect widower benefits until you file for your own. You cannot collect from both. I just went through this myself.
