Divorce and disability benefits

August 11, 2009 by admin

From http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10153.html :

If you get spouse's benefits, your benefits will continue if you get divorced and you are age 62 or over unless you were married less than 10 years.

Benefits based on ex-spouse's work record

August 12, 2009 by admin

If you are divorced, but your marriage lasted 10 years or longer, you can receive benefits on your ex-spouse's record (even if he or she has remarried) if:

  • You are unmarried;
  • You are age 62 or older;
  • The benefit you are entitled to receive based on your own work is less than the benefit you would receive based on your ex-spouse's work; and
  • Your ex-spouse is entitled to Social Security retirement or disability benefits.

I am unaware of a way to directly learn if your benefit is due to the ex-spouse's work record. You may have to contact SSA to learn the source of benefits.
