Full question: I started my SS at 62, my ex-husband passed away. We were married 10 years. I was denied survivor benefits.

Hello,

Based on the information provided, as you were married to your ex-spouse for over 10 years and have started collecting your own Social Security benefits at 62, you should be eligible for survivor benefits. If you have been denied, it’s possible there may have been an error or misunderstanding regarding your eligibility.

I would recommend that you contact the Social Security Administration directly to review your case. They will be able to provide a detailed explanation of how your benefits were calculated and assist in correcting any potential errors.

Best of luck,
Martha
