Not until she her self reaches age 60 unless she has children at home under age 18. There is always the possibilities she could draw Disability if unable to work. Some women get catch in what we call that danger gap of when their husband is older then them and dies. When he dies if she is not age 60 she gets nothing no matter what he was drawing if he was retired unless as stated about the children at home yet.

I guess thats why my insurance man when I was young it was important to have good life insurance to protect your wife in the event you died. I see what he means now when I see allot of ladies in their late 50's working hard jobs or flipping burgers just to make ends meet until they reach age 60 to draw on their spouse. Some really dont look to the future on this or save incase this happens for example a stay at home mom with no outside the home working experience and they have lived a really great life since he had an above average job. If they didnt save or have insurance on him then the world can cave in for a woman. Hope this helps in some way. The younger a person gets insurance the cheaper it is and course before something is detected medically by allot of young people dont think about tomorrow alone 30-40 years from now.

You neglect to tell us which country you live in and therefore we can not provide you with a specific answer to your question.

In the UK a widow will inherit her husband's qualifying years should those exceed hers in number (it is whichever is greatest you can't add the two together). However she can only collect on these when she reaches state pension age.

Widows are eligible to begin drawing retirement benefits at age 60 if they have not remarried before that time. Disabled widows are eligible at 50.

A widow or ex-spouse may draw survivors' benefits at any age if she is raising the decedent's dependent minor children who are under age 16. The children should also qualify for separate Survivor benefits.

Please call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 to speak with a representative about your specific situation.

You will need his birth certificate, his social security card, his employment income prior to his death and his death certificate. You also will need to show proof of your marriage and if you were still married when he died or divorced. Since not all social security offices are the same in every state, it would be advisable to call before you file to make sure you have all the information and paperwork that you need. It will save you another trip.
