I don't know how old you are whitesshewolf, but this could help: Also if you are a widow or widower you could be eligible as early as 50 if you are found disabled.

If you have not worked or do not
have enough Social Security credits


If you have not worked or do not have enough Social Security credits and you are married, you may be eligible for Social Security benefits as a result of your husband’s work. You and your children (younger than age 18 or younger than age 19 if still in secondary school or disabled before age 22) have Social Security protection through your husband’s work. When he retires, or if he becomes disabled, you could be eligible for benefits as early as age 62. If you are caring for your child who is younger than age 16 or disabled and entitled to benefits, you could receive benefits at any age.

If you choose to begin receiving wife’s benefits before you reach full retirement age, your benefit amount will be reduced and will not be increased once you reach full retirement age. If you wait until you reach full retirement age, you will receive the maximum benefit, which is up to half of the amount your husband is entitled to receive at his full retirement age.
You and your husband will be eligible for Medicare at age 65

NOTE: If your husband is full retirement age, he can apply for retirement benefits and then request to have payments suspended. That way, you can receive a spouse’s benefits and he can continue to earn delayed retirement credits until age 70.
