Can I get my deceased husbands benefits when he would have been 62

Hi,

When you could qualify for widow's benefits depends on your age, not your husband's. Widow's benefits can be paid at a reduced rate as early as age 60, or age 50 for disabled widow's. For full list of the requirements for widow's benefits, refer to Social Security's handbook: https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.04/handbook-0401.html.

It sounds like you may have a number of options available to you with regard to claiming Social Security benefits, so you should strongly consider using our maximization software in order to determine your best course of action.

Best, Jerry
