They said that my because I’m 60 I can start receiving it and July but still have not heard anything
Well, they are giving you the correct answer. You cannot start receiving Widows Benefits until you reach age 60. If you are already age 60, call them again and tell them you wrote to Social Security Horror Stories, and they will do a followup if you do not get access to your benefits immediately.
