Social Security Benefits For Women Explained
Fred C. Rogers of the Houston Social Security Office outlines 1956 amendments affecting women. Starting November 1956 women may receive benefits at 62, with widows and dependents eligible at 62 for survivors payments. Wives of retired insured workers may also elect 62 with reduced monthly amounts, rising only if delaying to 65. Once begun at 62, benefits stay reduced and cannot reach the full 65 rate later.

Women’s Social Security insured status shortened for age 62
The starting age for women beneficiaries lowered to 62 from 65, reducing required covered work for insured status in some cases. Generally, eligibility equals one half of post 1950 work time up to age 62, with a minimum of four years. The amended law lets those who work continuously after 1955 qualify with fewer quarters of coverage.
