Can I File For Divorced Spousal Benefits And Wait Until Age 70 To File On My Own Record?
My ex-husband and I were married for well over 10 years. I will be 66 in October 2017. He will be 62 in December of 2017. When he reaches 62, can I claim on his and then wait to claim my full SS when I turn 70?
Hi,
Yes, provided that you are unmarried, and have either been divorced for at least 2 years, or your husband is receiving benefits on his own record.
Best, Jerry
