Beats me lol...the link (see below) someone posted from here listed husband as person able to receive as well. I have no clue..

When you start receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits, other family members also may be eligible for payments. For example, benefits can be paid to your husband or wife:

•If he or she is age 62 or older; or
•At any age if he or she is caring for your child (the child must be younger than 16 or disabled and entitled to Social Security benefits on your record).
