If that person becomes totally disabled within seven years of his or her spouse’s death, he or she can collect SSD benefits. This can help stay-at-home wives and other spouses who may not have a history of contributions to Social Security on which to base their own claim for disability benefits. Children under 18 can also receive survivor benefits.
A skilled and experienced attorney can help you understand what benefits are available to you as well as help you effectively navigate the challenging application process for SSD benefits.
