Reductions to Benefits. 1  You can apply for Social Security survivor benefits as early as age 60. If you file between age 60 and your survivor full retirement age, you will receive somewhere between 71 - 99% of your deceased spouseâs basic benefit amount.
When you file for Social Security at your full retirement age (which depends on your birthdate and is currently age 66), you receive 100% of your benefit. If you take your benefit early, at age 62, you only receive about 75% of your monthly benefit. Every year you delay taking it, your benefit goes up until age 70.
