Actually, a woman who never worked, could draw Social Security benefits from
her husband's account. For example, when he retires, and is eligible for say
$500.00 a month, she could also draw a monthly benefit for herself. Thus, he
might get $400 and she the other $100 (for the $500 total). The advantage
is, if he dies, her money will continue. So a woman who never worked, could
draw benefits, and would be listed on the SSDI.
