Hi Larry! I've looked everywhere for the answer to this question (Including the SS website) and have never seen it asked/answered. I waited until I was 66 (my full age for SS) before filing for half of my husband's SS. I am letting mine accrue until I am 70 and will then file for my own. In the meantime we are getting a divorce. I will have been receiving his for about two years when the divorce is final. Will the divorce affect my drawing his SS right on until I file for mine a 70? I so appreciate your help!

Hi,

The answer depends on how long you've been married. If you've been married for at least 10 years, then you're entitlement to benefits on your husband's record can continue as a divorced spouse. But, if you've been married for fewer than 10 full years, your spousal benefits would terminate effective with the month that your divorce is final.

Best, Jerry
