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.
So the first step is to go to the Social Security Administration's Web site and find out when youâre entitled to full benefits. For those born between 1943 and 1954, for example, you can start collecting benefits at age 62, but youâll only get 75 percent of what youâd get if you wait until youâre 66. If you wait until 67, you get 108 percent of your monthly benefit. And at age 70, youâll collect 132 percent â the maximum you can get by delaying benefits.
