After watching videos and getting answers to my posted questions on this site — gaining confidence (and correct wording I learned here) I was able to find out from a SS phone call, I can file on my deceased ex-husband survivor benefits 4 months before I turn 60. I was able to check off all the requirement boxes SS officer asked me. I didn’t feel confused, it was nice being prepared. I also learned he made more money so I plan to ride on his SS and switch to mine at a much later date. THANKS ED!
