I am 60 yr old female. Divorced. Receiving alimony. I have health issues and cannot work. I recently applied for social security disability. I have worked since teenager. Will that affect my alimony?

Hi,

I'm unable to answer that question. I assume that it would depend on the terms specified in your divorce settlement.

I can tell you that your alimony won't affect your ability to receive Social Security disability benefits, nor your benefit amount.
