Hazel,  As long as you have been married to you husband for at least 10 years, you can collect on his social security benefits.

Good afternoon Hazel - Yes is the short answer as long as you are not planning on killing him. See the Social Securiy Handbook at this link -- http://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.04/handbook-0401.html . You didn't say who your pension is from. The one cavat would be if you are retired from the US Government and your pension is more then 2/3 your husbands (called an 'Offset"), then you would continue drawing yours. If his (pension) is bigger then yours however - you get his. Hess
