We extend the study of supersymmetric tridiagonal Hamiltonians to the case of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with real or complex conjugate eigenvalues. We find the relation between matrix elements of the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian [Formula: see text] and its supersymmetric partner [Formula: see text] in a given basis. Moreover, the orthogonal polynomials in the eigenstate expansion problem attached to [Formula: see text] can be recovered from those polynomials arising from the same problem for [Formula: see text] with the help of kernel polynomials. Besides its generality, the developed formalism in this work is a natural home for using the numerically powerful Gauss quadrature techniques in probing the nature of some physical quantities such as the energy spectrum of [Formula: see text]-symmetric complex potentials. Finally, we solve the shifted [Formula: see text]-symmetric Morse oscillator exactly in the tridiagonal representation.
