Can My Boyfriend And I Both Collect Benefits On Our Own Records If We Live Together?
My boyfriend and I have lived together for 11 years. We are in early 70's. Can we both collect on our own records? I get survivor's benefits from a previous marriage & divorce. Thank you.
Hi,
Yes, merely living with someone wouldn't disqualify you from being able to draw any type of Social Security benefits. Even if you got married, though, it wouldn't affect your ability to draw your own Social Security retirement benefits. And, since you're over age 60 a new marriage wouldn't affect your eligibility for surviving divorced spousal benefits either.
Best, Jerry
