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.
If you can't or don't want to wait until full Social Security retirement age, it's possible to begin collecting Social Security as early as age 62. While this may seem tempting, you should try to avoid it if possible. Your monthly benefit will be reduced by about 0.5% for every month you start collecting before full retirement age.
