You receive social security benefits your husband died will you receive his too?

Answer 1

Each person's situation is different. Too broad of a question to answer but here's a shot. Widows are eligible to begin drawing at age 60 if they have not remarried before that time. They do not get their own and their spouse's but they may be entitled to their spouses. If they already get 500 on their own and are entitled to 600 on their spouse's then they will now get 100 from their spouse. Disabled widows are eligible at 50.

Answer 2

Yes, if you were married for at least 10 years before his death. But you won't be able to draw it unless you are of the required age to be eligible to draw it, or unless you are disabled or have a disabled child. But the amount the surviving spouse draws is often less than what your spouse's benefit was, depending on how it was set up at the time the SS benefits began.
