Default Question on Social Security Income
I will be applying for SSDI within the next couple of weeks.

My husband passed away in 2001 (he was 47 then - would be 54 now). Will I be able to collect his Social Security that he would have gotten at his retirement age? I am only 47 now - I was/am seven years younger than him. Will the case worker at SSDI need to know this and will this be decucted from my SSDI payment?

Thanks to anyone who can help!

I don`t know the answer, my wife works and is ten years younger than me, 46. I was told by SS she cannot collect any of mine if I should die before she is 60. I don`t know if she were to become disabled also. Maybe just hers until then?

You cannot draw on his retirement benefit until you are retirement age, and had been married to him for at least 10 years. You can however draw on death benefit now.
