You are entitled to collect benefits based upon your deceased spouse’s Social Security benefits if you are age 60 or older, or disabled and between 50 and 59 years old If you collect survivors benefits before fall retirement age, you may be eligible to collect higher benefits, based on your own earnings, when you reach full retirement age.
