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 they are old or disabled enough to draw benefits, then you may qualify, depending on your own age and the length of the marriage. The minimum age for Social Security retirement is 62; you can apply for disability benefits at 18 or older. Taking Social Security retirement before your full retirement age, however, means your benefit is permanently reduced. Full retirement age varies from 65 to 67, depending on the year of your birth.
