Best Answer

Widows are eligible to begin drawing retirement benefits on their late husband's earnings record at age 60 if they have not remarried before that time. Disabled widows are eligible at 50.

A widow 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 only lose survivor benefits from your ex-husband's work record if you remarry before age 60, or age 50, if Social Security considers you disabled.

Are you entitled to get social security benefits from your deceased husband?

Most widows are eligible to receive benefits for a period of time from Social Security when their husband dies. You should also be eligible to receive the death benefit payment from them, which is only $250 I believe.Every situation is different though and it is the Social Security Administration's call on these matters. You can find out some more information on their website at socialsecurity.gov and locate an area office, to contact for any more questions you may have.

Is your officially legal name on your social security card or your drivers license because my social security card has my first married name I never changed it when I married again.?

What the deal is, my social security card has my first husbands name on it and my drivers license has my second husbands name on it. I never changed to my second husband's name with social security. Now, my second husband and I are divorcing and I want to change it back to my first husband's name, like is on my social security card, because my first husband and I are dating and plan on remarrying. HELP! At work, I go by my second husband's name, but the IRS and Social Security still have me as my first married name. What should I do? I live in Louisiana.
