No. You need to report his death to Social Security. If you have been cashing the checks for a while, think about it. Reporting the death and dealing with it now is FAR better than letting it go. It will only get more difficult to deal with as time goes on. You can always make an anonymous call to Social Security just to get information and to put your mind at ease. It's not likely that you will get in trouble if you have done something inadvertently and desire to make things right.
You can get Widow's benefits, and there are some things you can do to get benefits even before your full retirement age which I'm presuming is 66. It appears that you can opt for your own benefits of record, or widow's benefits, and there may be ways to switch from one to the other. Check the link for some material that might help.

We are sorry for your loss, and we hope this works out well for you.
