Hi. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm assuming that your husband worked and paid into Social Security long enough to be insured for survivor benefits. Normally a person must have been married for at least 9 months to qualify for widow's benefits, but that requirement is waived in the case of an accidental death. Therefore, it sounds like you might be able to qualify for widow's benefits on your husband's account at least at some point.

You must be unmarried and at least age 50 to qualify for disabled widow's benefits (DWB), and your disability needs to have started within 7 years of the later of a) your husband's date of death, or b) the end of your entitlement to child in care survivor benefits. You don't mention whether or not you've been drawing child in care survivor benefits nor the date you became disabled, so I can't tell you if and when you might qualify. If you can't qualify for DWB benefits, you'd need to be at least age 60 to potentially qualify for regular widow's benefits.

If you haven't been collecting child in care survivor benefits and if your child hasn't been drawing surviving child benefits, you should probably contact Social Security right away to see if you're eligible.

Best, Jerry
