Marriage Doesn’t Limit Your Social Security Benefits
If you’re married and both you and your husband have worked, you can each request Social Security benefits separately and independently. But you two must have worked before and you must have separate work records.
Let’s say you have a claim of $2,000 per month and your husband has a claim of $2,500 per month. This means your combined retirement benefits should go up to $4,500 monthly.
So being married doesn’t influence your Social Security retirement benefit. Which indicates you’re not restricted to receiving 50% of your husband’s pension. Although Social Security spousal benefits might be a financial plus, if you’re not eligible, you can still carry out to provide your own financial security. Talk to a financial consultant or an attorney to ensure you have the right retirement plan.
