Remember, the earliest a widow or widower can start receiving Social Security survivors benefits based on age will remain age 60.

If you start receiving survivors benefits at age

60, you will get 71.5% of the monthly benefit because you will be getting benefits for an additional 76 months.
62, you will get 80.5% of the monthly benefit because you will be getting benefits for an additional 52 months.

Note: If you're receiving widows, widowers, or divorced widows or widowers benefits, you can switch to your own retirement benefit as early as age 62.

Reminder: Your full retirement age for retirement benefits may not match your full retirement age for survivors benefits.

Full retirement age goes from 65 to.... 66.... 67
