WHEN I GO TO MY LOCAL SS OFFICE TO FILE FOR SS BENEFITS ON EX HUSBANDS SS, WHAT ALL IS REQUIRED, WHAT WILL I NEED TO BRING TO APPOINTMENT

Hi. At a minimum, you'll need to show Social Security a certified copy of your divorce decree. And, if the divorce decree doesn't show your marriage date, you'll also need to show them proof of your marriage (https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0200305020). It's possible that you could also be asked for proof of age, such as a birth or baptismal certificate, but in most cases proof of age isn't required.

Before applying for benefits, you should strongly consider using our software (https://maximizemysocialsecurity.com/purchase) to fully compare and analyze all of your options so that you can determine your best strategy for maximizing your benefits.

Best, Jerry
