If You’re Divorced, You May Still Receive Your Ex’s Benefits
Does a divorced person lose all the financial benefits that come with marriage? That’s not always the case. At least when it comes to Social Security. If you were married for at least 10 years, you may be eligible for Social Security based on your ex’s work record. This applies if you’re unmarried and not eligible for a higher benefit on your own earnings record when you become entitled to Social Security.
Another thing to take into account is that some women sign divorce decrees giving up their rights to Social Security on their ex’s record. Well, these kinds of clauses in divorce decrees are rarely applied.
Basically, the same payment conditions apply to divorced wives and widows as to current wives and widows. Most divorced women receive their Social Security benefits while their ex is alive, but they can request a higher widow’s rate when the ex dies.
