Can I Receive Divorced Spousal Benefits While My Disability Appeal Is Pending?
I am recently disabled but appealing a denial for social security. My ex spouse receives disability Ss, am I entitled to anything from him as I am waiting?
Hi,
You must be at least age 62 to qualify for divorced spousal benefits, in addition to meeting the other requirements (https://www.ssa.gov/planners/disability/dfamily3.html). No earlier entitlement to divorced spousal benefits is permitted, even if divorced spouse is disabled.
Best, Jerry
