@mikidragon,
I'm not clear on what you are asking. Are you asking if there is a maximum dollar limit for your checking or savings account in order to qualify for social security widow benefits?

If so, here's the government website page on survivor benefits.

http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10084.html

And here is another site that helps explain what the SS government site said:

No. your deceased SS is determined by his work record. You get the survivors amount whether you make one or a million dollars a year. It is not based on YOUR income, rather it is based on his SS benefit and then the benefit for the survivor.

Now - if you are working, that could reduce the amount of your benefit if it is over the limit.

The SS Administration can answer your questions over the phone.
