Hi. I understand a spouse/ex spouse can be eligible for survivor benefits at 50 if they are disabled, and have not worked. Is there a way to expedite the disability application (get approved for disability), or will the determination decision take the 9-12 months like most applications do? Do they consider that there is no income in the household at the time? Thanks so much.
Hi,
Hello,
I am currently 47 and on SSDI. I received survivor benefits For my daughter until 2014 (She turned 18) due to my husbands passing in 1996. Would I be eligible to receive widowers benefits under his record at age 50? Would it be better to wait?
Thank you!

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,
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.
