Divorced Spousal Benefits

Can I collect social security from a prior spouse, if I remarried when I was 58?

Can social security collect student debt from my social security benefit?

Hi,

You couldn't qualify for either divorced spousal benefits or surviving divorced spousal benefits if you remarried at age 58 and your marriage is continuing. However, if you were already drawing disability benefits as a surviving divorced spouse when you remarried at age 58, the remarriage wouldn't terminate your benefits.

I am on Social Security Disability got approved before my divorce and they never mentioned anything about going off my spouses amount he worked more as I stayed home and worked taking care of our children. Can I go and get it off his earnings?

Hi,

Hi Jerry were both on social security disability hes been on it for years I worked our whole marriage and then for the last 7 years I've been on it he was on it for the whole 20 years I was married to him. We have been divorced for 3 years but I've been separated from him for the last 8 years. My son just turned 18 so I get no more benefits for here my loss to $800 a month some only receiving 872 and really struggling.

I am on SSDi. I wish to get off it as i want to leave the states and i am not a citizen. Can i claim as divorced spouse at 62 if spouse is also 62?

Hi,

You couldn't voluntarily quit drawing Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits and draw divorced spousal benefits instead, nor would that necessarily enable you to receive your benefits outside of the U.S. You could theoretically switch to drawing regular Social Security retirement benefits instead of SSDI, but that would likely just cut your net benefit rate by around 25%.

I'm currently receiving ssdi can I collect on my exhusband s.s when he retires and will it effect my ssdi benefits

Hi,

I am 53 years old and on Social Security disability. (My checks are very low.) I was married to my first husband, currently age 54, for 10 years. I then remarried a man who is soon to be 61. We are separating after 6.5 years of marriage, but not divorcing,, primarily because I need medical coverage. My first husband has a higher income than my second husband's, so I foresee my first husband's Social Security benefit will be higher than my second husband's. Would it be beneficial for me to divorce my second husband, and when?

I’m 62 and divorced for 12 years now after 25 years of marriage. My x husbands SS is 2400:00 per month he is at FRA. Mine at FRA is $800.00 at 66 and 2 months. Can I enter into a legal domestic partnership with my boyfriend in California (which requires filing a joint tax return) and be able to collect on my x-husbands benefit at my RFA? My boyfriend has no SS benefits nor will he have any. I am very much am in need of the extra $400.00 a month I will receive from my x husbands ecord.

Reading your book "Get What's Yours" and have found it to be very informative but cannot fully understand the question I have.
I am 65 years of age and have been on SS Disability for 6 years and am aware that it will convert over to regular SS FRA next year(Jan). I was reading about spousal benefits for exe's and under the section for disability it said there were different rules. My ex and I were married for 12 years divorcing in 1998. She is 9 years my junior,56 yrs old, and as far as I know still alive and employed.

I divorced my first husband after 24 years, I have remsried, can I receive any social security benefits from my first husband if I am presently married to someone else

Hi,

My birthday is 9-6-52. I am currently working full time and plan to continue so for another year. I make approximately 94,000 per year.
Can I collect divorce spousal benefits when I turn 66 and still work full time? I was married more than 10 years, and divorced more than two. My ex is currently collecting benefits on his record. Thank you
