Yes. Survivors' benefits are intended to ease the financial strain of losing the deceased spouse's or parent's income, they are not intended to force a family to live off Social Security alone.
However, earned income may affect the amount a Survivor can receive in benefits. Because the formulas used to calculate survivors' benefits are complex and dependent on many variables, it is important to discuss the matter directly with the Social Security Administration.
You can speak with a Social Security Representative by calling 1-800-772-1213 Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm. This is an automated information line, so be prepared to jump through some hoops before you reach a live representative.

∙ 13y agoYes, but there are limits to how much you can earn and what percentage of your retirement benefit you can receive if you retire prior to your full retirement age (usually 66).
Prior to your standard retirement age (66 for most of us), SSA will offset your earnings against above a set amount against your benefits; this might reduce your benefits or make you ineligible. When you reach your standard retirement age, you may earn as much as you wish without penalty.
If you receive Social Security disability benefits, you can earn a maximum of $1,000 per month for most disabilities, or $1,640 per month if legally blind (2011). If you earn more than the approved amount, SSA will consider you to be engaged in Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA), and may terminate your disability status.
