bilr 0 Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Can I draw benefits on my own earnings and wait until 70 to file for survivor benefits even if my spouse dies before I reach 70 or FRA? Edited January 13, 2019 by bilr added words Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devin Carroll 1 Posted January 28, 2019 Short answer...yes you can. However, the SSA will often dispense advice in this area that is not correct. Watch these videos to make sense of the rules and keep you protected when it comes time to file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
