Can I Collect On My Ex-Spouse's Record If I've Remarried?
I was married to my ex for 30 years. Divorced in 2000. I remarried at age 51, 14 years ago. I am 65. I have collected my social security since age 62. My question is can I collect from my ex's spousal benefit social security as his is more than mine. Thank you.
Hi,
No, you wouldn't qualify for divorced spousal benefits as long as your remarriage continues. However, you could potentially become eligible for benefits on your ex's record if your current marriage ends in death or divorce.
Best, Jerry
