Hi,
Not really. If you apply for both your own Social Security benefits and for divorced spousal or survivor benefits, you could only be paid essentially the higher of the two benefit rates. If your divorced spousal or survivor rate was the higher of the two benefits, though, Social Security would pay your own benefit plus a partial divorced spousal or survivor rate. The 2 benefits would basically just add up to the higher divorced spousal/survivor rate, though.
Best, Jerry
