What Is The Eligibility For Receiving Widow/Widower Disability Benefits In Philadelphia?

If your loved one who has been receiving Social Security Disability benefits passes away, the surviving spouse becomes eligible to receive their deceased spouse’s benefits if the survivor is over the age of 60. In the case that the surviving spouse is also disabled, the eligibility age is lowered to 50 but the rules are different. 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. SSD Lawyers from Leventhal Sutton & Gornstein will help answer your questions about whether or not you qualify to take over these benefits.
