Would My Husband's Disability Benefits Pass On To Me If He Dies When I'm Age 60?
Hi,
Spouse went on SS disability at age 60 and now 53. Should he pass away and I am 60, how would his benefit pass on top me? I believe it may be more than 50% but not sure really if this?Thanks,
Sherry
Hi Sherry. If you started drawing widow's benefits at age 60, you'd only be paid 71.5% of your husband's full Social Security disability (SSDI) benefit rate. You'd have to be at least full retirement age (FRA) at the time you start drawing widow's benefits to receive a full 100% of your husband's rate.
