Reductions to Benefits. 1  You can apply for Social Security survivor benefits as early as age 60. If you file between age 60 and your survivor full retirement age, you will receive somewhere between 71 - 99% of your deceased spouseâs basic benefit amount.
(You can start the sign-up process here up to three months before the month of your 65th birthday.)
