Hi,
My best friends husband died last January. They had been married 9 years. They live in Indiana. She is 58 years old. She was told that she cannot draw Survivors benefits until she is 60 years old. Is this right? Her doctors have been saying she should not return to work because of health reasons. She has been going through battles to get SSDI for years. And is currently appealing her case. Why would they make widows wait until they are 60 for survivors benefits? Or was she told the wrong info ? Thank you.
Hi,
My mom, age 59, is disabled and has been collecting SS disability since 2008. She was married in 2013. Her husband passed away 10 months later. She now receives her SS disability and appox. 10% of his benefit. Why doesn't she receive his full benefit?

Hi,
I'm sorry for your loss.
Unfortunately, I can't really give you much advice you because I don't have enough information to know if you could have qualified for benefits sooner.
Husband of 30 years passed Aug 2018
Oct 2018 I applied for SSDI benefits and also over the phone SS applied me for Widow benefits
Feb 2019 approved for Disability and Disabled Widow Benefits
Today I received a letter stating I was over paid and not entitled to a Widows benefit
I know you can’t double stack but aren’t SSDI and Widow Benefits out of two different funds ?
Hi,
I'm sorry for your loss.
Hi Larry
I am concerned because I receive survivors benefits from my late husband benefits, who passed away 3 years ago and I want to remarry. I am disabled and I am 53 years old. Will I lose my benefits and if I remarry? I also receive medicare, will I lose that too?
Thank You
Hi,
I receive SS disability. I started receiving before age 50. I also receive widows benefits. How is this calculated at my full retirement age ? My husband died at age 60. I had been receiving SSDI for several years prior to his death. I do get two checks per month. Do they just add the two together? I know I had a reduction regarding his benefit. I’m so confused as to how it is calculated and I will be 66 in a year and few months. I would greatly appreciate if you could explain it to me. I have searched the internet and cannot find the answer to my question.
I am a 55 year old widow and on disability (SSDI) with one child still in school. I have been collecting SSDI scene 1999. I have been in and out of the social Security office about various things one being about when to apply for Disable Widows Benifits. My son is collecting off my husbands SS and is getting $1995. My SSDI is $1052 with med taken out takes me down to $919. Can I apply for my DWB and still keep my SSDI?
