Can I Find Out If My Ex-Wife Is Drawing Social Security From My Employment Record?

Larry:
Is there any way that I can find out if my ex-wife is drawing social security from my employment record without asking her directly? She is entitled to it that's not the issue.... can I ask Social Security for this information since it is my employment record?

Thanks for your help!
Tim



Hi Tim,

Yes. Social Security can't give you personal information about people receiving benefits on your record such as their address, but they're required to disclose to you the names of anyone receiving benefits based on your work record (https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0203316105).

Best, Jerry
