Dear Larry. I currently am on disability, I just turned 61. My spouse made more money than I did. What happens when I turn 62 next year. What happens to my disability?. Can I collect both or will I automatically start getting my Social security?

I have been divorced for 20 years and never remarried. When I draw my social security can I draw on my exes since he made a greater amount than I. And if so when should I start to draw. I am 59 now.

I was born January 19,1962. When can I apply for social security on me and when if I am filing on an ex husband? We were married for 20years before divorce. He was born June 16,1960.

I was born May 22, 1952& he was born June 15, 1953.We were married in 1977& divorced in 1998. By the time we divorced, I was disabled&receiving disability benefits from social security under my work record. Those benefits became retirement benefits when I reached "retirement age." At that time, my wor k record didn't reach the threshold for me to draw benefits off his record. He plans to let his social security benefits grow until he reaches the age when he's required to collect.

Divorced twice can I draw on first husband and do I have to wait 2 years after Divorce from second husband to draw I will be 62 in February if first husband gets 1600 A month I would 600 how much would I get

My husband and I were married for 21 years and I was primarily a housewife.
I have subsequently worked enough to qualify for Social Security benefits and I am now on SSD. I am 62 years old and my former husband is 65 years old. Am I correct in understanding that when I reach full retirement age I can elect to draw 50% of his PIA instead of my SSD?

I was married from November 1979 till April 1988. Divorced now for 33 years! Can I use my ex-wife’s SSN? I am currently on SSDI. We are both turning 65 in 2021 and She has been very successful!

Hi. It doesn't sound like it. You can only qualify for divorced spousal benefits if you were married to your ex-spouse for at least 10 years. If your marriage lasted less than 10 years, you can't collect benefits from your ex-wife's account.

Best, Jerry

Yes i have been on ssa since 2008. Work a few years while i was married. My ex husband made more money i was a stay at home mom. I am caring for are 25 year old disabled son. Can i receive social security on his record. I have not remarried. He has thank you

My first marriage ended in Divorce after 21years I remarried ended in Divorce after 14 years can draw from either ex social security

I am 62 divorced female still currently employed in a low level position. I am exploring the best time to retire with available assets. I would hope to work part time after retiring. My former husband's income was much higher than mine. However, he has been out of the work force 13 years and hasn't filed taxes since. How do I gather his information to determine which income would be best to retire on? Or is it fruitless since he has not filed?

Question: Receiving ex spouses social Security benefits. Is there a way to have an exception to the 10 year rule when diagnosed with a major Disease during the marriage then becoming disabled because of it?

Hi. No, there are no exceptions to the 10-year duration of marriage requirement for divorced spousal benefits.

Best, Jerry
