    No.


    Survivor Eligibility
    A surviving spouse who qualifies by age or child care and who has not remarried may claim benefits as early as age 50 if disabled or age 60 if not disabled. A surviving spouse caring for a disabled child or a child under the age of 16 may collect survivor benefits as well.
