You can only draw your own social security. ==Clarification== According to the Social Security and Disability Resource Center: At what age can I start drawing Social Security Retirement Benefits? If you are 62 years old you can apply to receive Social Security retirement benefits as an individual or as a spouse on a husband or wife’s record. Additionally, an applicant may be entitled to file for social security retirement benefits on the record of another individual as a divorced spouse or widowed spouse provided they were were married to that individual for ten years or more. Widows and Widowers may be entitled to a Survivor benefit at the age of sixty provided they have not remarried before the age of 60. Also, a disabled widow or widower may receive a disability benefit on the record of a deceased spouse at age 50 provided they have not remarried prior to age 50.

∙ 14y agoWhen a man dies, his wife may or may not be able to draw his social security benefits when she reaches the age of retirement. It depends on the number of quarters he earned benefits while she was married to him. Since each question is unique, she should contact the Social Security Administration for a definite answer to her particular question.
