Never a Fee Unless We Get Money for You

Widow's benefits are available to husbands and wives of workers who have sufficiently contributed to the Social Security system. If your spouse worked for a sufficient period of time, there are several other criteria that need to be met. Some of them include:

  • Benefits for disabled widows/widowers as early as age 50, provided the disability started before or within seven years of the death of the wage earner
  • Full benefits for widows/widowers at full retirement age, currently 65, or reduced benefits as early as age 60
  • Benefits for widows/widowers of any age if he or she cares for the deceased worker's child, provided the child is under age 16 or is disabled and receiving Social Security disability benefits
