Benefits for disabled widows and widowers

Let experienced attorneys handle your disabled widow or widower claim

At Hansen Dirani & Associates Law Offices, we understand what folks like you are going through after an injury or disability. The Social Security application process can be complicated. Who is or isn't eligible for benefits has become a difficult question. Our attorneys can help get you through the process. Get in touch with our firm today.

If you are a widow or widower who has become disabled, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. You need to meet certain Social Security Administration standards:

  • You must be between 50 and 60 years old.
  • You must meet the definition of disability for adults (the definition of disability is the same for widows and widowers as it is for workers).
  • You have become disabled within a certain amount of time after the death of your spouse (within seven years) or you were disabled before the death of your spouse.
  • Your spouse must have worked long enough under Social Security to be insured.
