How do I qualify for widow’s disability benefits?

In the case that an individual who is receiving Social Security Disability or Social Security benefits passes away, the surviving spouse becomes eligible to receive their deceased spouse’s benefits. In order for the surviving spouse to qualify to take over benefits as a disabled widow or widower, the individual needs to medically prove that they are suffering from a medically determinable mental or physical condition. This condition needs to prevent you from being gainfully employed, and the condition needs to last or be expected to last for at least 12 months in order for you to qualify. The Leventhal Sutton & Gornstein SSD lawyer in Scranton will be happy to help answer your questions about whether or not you qualify to take over these benefits.
