My husband passed March 15 2019 at 56 and was on SSDI am I eligible to receive partial benefits. We were married for 8 yrs.

Hi,

I'm sorry for your loss.

In order to qualify for widow's benefits you must be at least age 60, or at least age 50 and disabled. If you aren't yet old enough for widow's benefits you would likely qualify for at least a one-time $255 death benefit based on your husband's record, so you'll probably want to contact Social Security to apply for that if you haven't already done so.

Best, Jerry
