A widow who was 62 years old or over in November 1956 can still get her social security bene, fits back to that month if she applies before the end of November 1957 according to Robert Parsons. Assistant Manager of the Alexandria social security office.
Many women in Rappahannock County have applied for benefits sincethe Social Security Act was changed to permit women to start drawing their payments at age 62. Parsons states, however, that there are undoubtedly many women past age "62 who have not applied. A working woman or the wife of a living" retired worker may not want to apply before she is 65 because she would have to take permanently reduced benefits. The reduction does not apply to the widow or dependent mother of a deceased insured worker. She can get the full amount of her payments starting at age 62.

Any reasonable reliable document such as an old family Bible or an old in. surance policy showing the widow’s date of birth will be useful.
