Ruling on Paying Debts from the Salary of the Deceased Husband

Question
A widow whose children are young takes a pension for herself and a pension for her deceased husband. Is it permissible for her to pay her debts from her husband's salary? And is this salary the right of the heirs?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: The entity that provides the pension has a specified share for each one of the pensioners, so it belongs to him, and God knows best.
