How Can a Disabled Widow
Without an Earnings Record Collect on a Spouse's Earnings
Record?
If you are a widow
or widower and you have not worked enough to have your own
earnings record, you may be able to collect on your late
spouse's earnings record.
An uninsured
disabled widow can collect if:
1. you meet Social
Security's definition of disability; and
2. you are over the
age of 50; and
3. you became
disabled within 7 years from your spouse's death
