Hi Katie,
I'm sorry for your loss.
Unless you're disabled or you have an eligible child in your care, the earliest that you could qualify for survivor benefits on your deceased husband's Social Security record is at age 60 (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.04/handbook-0401.html).
Best, Jerry
