Hi Larry, I will be 62 next year I'm divorce ex will be 56 still working can i get his social security at 62 or do i have to wait until he get his social security
Hi. No. You can't qualify for divorced spousal benefits on the account of a living ex-spouse unless your ex is at least age 62 or is collecting Social Security retirement or disability (SSDI) benefits.
