I am 62 and employed full time. My husband died at age 43 and I have never remarried. He was employed full time when he died. We were married for 20 years. My children received social security benefits until the age of 18. My tax adviser told me that I may be eligible now for survivor benefits. But, if I apply for survivor benefits now, can I still collect my full social security benefit on my work credits when I turn 66?

Dear Rosie: Yes, that is the benefit of being eligible for widows pension. You can take his at age 60 and let your amount grow until you reach full retirement age 66. Carol
