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.
The answer depends on which age you file for the social security benefits. For example, assume your full retirement age (FRA) is 66, and the maximum benefit for the FRA in 2016 is $2,639 per mo. Say, if youâre 62 & contemplate to file for an early benefit, you may only get 75% of the full benefit, which is $1,979/mo.
