Can A Spouse File For Social Security Disability Under The Spousal Support Rule?

Hey Larry can a spouse file for social security disability under the spousal support rule



Hi,

I assume you're asking whether or not a spouse who is disabled can draw disability benefits based on their living spouse's earnings record, and the answer to that question is no.

Best, Jerry
