 even if there are no children that are dependent on you. So in some cases, if your spouse dies early, you can claim that widow's benefit and delay your own earned benefit to pick up those extra credits. So that's one case where you can choose between the two if you haven't claimed the first one in advance. So that's another option there. But widows can take over that deceased spouse's benefit at any age, of course, as long as they're 60 or above.
