Who can qualify for disabled widow's benefits under the recent changes to the Social Security law? A.

A severely disabled widow between 50 and 60 whose husband worked long enough under Social Security can qualify for cash monthly benefits if her disability began before her husband's death or within seven years of his death. Q. I am a 55-year-old disabled widower who never worked because of my condition. My wife passed away several years ago leaving me with very little means of support. Am I now eligible for Social Security benefits? A.

Recent changes in the Social Security law provide for monthly payments to a severely disabled widower who was dependent on his wife at the time of her death. In addition to the disability and dependency requirements, the widower's disability must have begun before his wife's death (as in your case) or within seven years from the time of her death. Q. I am a 50-year-old disabled widow and understand that I should file a claim for benefits because of recent changes in the Social Security law. What do I need to prove that I am disabled? A.

The proof of your disability will come from medical evidence sent to the Social Security Administration by hospitals and doctors who have information about your condition. Your Social Security office will help you obtain the necessary medical reports at the time you file your application. Q. If I apply for Social Security benefits as a disabled widow, when could my payments start? A There are two factors now which determine when disabled widow's benefits can begin.

(Payments for February were due on March 3.) Disabled widow (or widower) benefits cannot begin before the seventh month after the month a person becomes disabled. A note of caution: Since disability claims take time to process, the earlier you file a claim the earlier payments can begin. Q. How are disabled widow benefits figured? A. The amount a disabled widow can receive depends on the deceased husband's earnings and at what age the disabled widow becomes entitled to monthly benefits.

At age 50 a disabled widow's benefit would be 50 per cent of her deceased husband's benefit; at age 55 her benefit would be 50 per cent of his benefit; and at age 60, Hy2 per cent of his benefit. Q. I read that benefits cannot be paid to a disabled widow unless she became disabled before or within seven years from the date of her husband's death. Why was a time limit set? A. The seven-year period was set to allow a reasonable period in which to work long enough to become insured for disability benefits through her own earnings.

For a widow who was receiving benefits because she had a child in her care, the seven-year period could be counted from the date the last child left her care, married, or became age 18.
