I know I made more than my husband and he retired at 62, but he passed away 14 yeasrd ago. I collect my own SS but why can't I draw something from his SS. It's definitely unfair

Can I collect my husband Social Security
He have been deceased for 30 years and he made more than i?

My husband died at age 47. We received child survivor benefits until our daughter graduated high school. Each year she got the COLA increase. I have my husband's SS Estimate of benefits for the year before he died that has the amount of benefits for the spouse who reaches full retirement age. Is that likely very close to the amount I will be eligible to receive at retirement age or is that amount adjusted to account for the COLA each year until I reach retirement age thus likely making it considerably higher?

I retired at 52 (nine years ago) from the State of Ohio. My husband passed away before he retired so I can not get his full pension, but SS said I can’t get his SS either (after he paid in for 40+ years) because I make “too much” . Is that correct?

I am 65, disabled, and been collecting SSDI. I started getting survivor benefits at 57. Husband died at 42 and never collected SS. When I turn 66, will I still get his reduced amount or 100%? This is my only income. It is going to be hard future. Thank you

I'm 55 years old can I collect my husband's Social Security benefits if he's passed away

Hi. You couldn't collect your husband's actual benefits, but you may be able to qualify for widow's benefits in the event of his death. However, the only way that you could qualify for widow's benefits prior to age 60 is if you're disabled, or if you have a child in your care who qualifies for child benefits on your husband's account and if the child is either under age 16 or is disabled.

My husband of 43 years passed away 5/2020. I was given only $188 from his social security he collected around $1100, mine was about the same. I was expecting much more does this sound right.

Hi. I'm sorry for your loss. I don't have enough information to know for sure, but you're probably getting the correct amount. The surviving member or a couple can only be paid up to roughly the higher of their two benefit rates. They can't collect both benefits at the same time.

Larry my husband got killed in 2018 people have told me that I can get survivors benefits cause I have a hearing problem. I would like to know if this is true. I have drawed disability years ago cause of my hearing but stopped drawing cause I got a job. I am 57 years old so can I still get survivors benefits since I am disabled cause of my hearing?

I was born 1960 Ana wanted to collect my ss at 62 and my husband ss is way more than mines if he is on disability now if something happens to him will I be able to get his amount of ss in place of mines if I claim mines at 62

Hi Larry, my husband passed away in 2018, he was ten years older than myself, I was a widow at 49. Can I get survivors or widow's benefits right now or do I have to wait until I'm 60 or 62 to collect, my husband would of been 63 this year. Thankyou for your advice
