Whether or not a woman can collect on her husbands social security depends on several factors. First, she has to be old enough or disabled. Second, she has to have been married long enough. Then, she must be widowed or divorced. Other rules may apply. As with everything involving the government, exceptions exist. You will need to see someone at the social security office. If you try to contact someone by phone, you will get a recorded message that someone will get back to you. One person has been waiting 20 years for his call to be returned. You can try the internet. You may or may not get satisfaction. If you visit a social security office, you will be able to get an appointment with a live human being.

∙ 13y agoOnly under certain circumstances. A wife can collect Social Security at age 62 while the husband works only if the husband has already reached full retirement age (65 for people born before 1943; 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954). The working spouse must also retire in order for the non-working spouse to draw benefits against his or her record; however, if the working spouse has already reached full retirement age, he may elect to suspend his portion of the benefit in order to continue earning delayed retirement credits.
If the working spouse is below full retirement age, this option is not available. He or she must retire, reducing both spouses' benefit checks, and will only be allowed to earn a maximum of $14,160 per year until the month he or she reaches full retirement age.

Does the social security administration recognize marriages after 60 years old?
Generally speaking, the Social Security Administration will recognize a marriage at pretty much any age, even after age 60. But it must, of course, be a legally allowable marriage. However, keep in mind that when it comes to collecting widow or widower benefits from the earnings record of a deceased spouse, you must be unmarried prior to turning age 60. Thus, if your spouse dies and you re-marry before your 60th birthday, you cannot collect widow or widower benefits. But after you turn age 60 you can re-marry and still collect widow or widower benefits from your deceased spouse's record.
