Revised Answer: Is My Remarried Ex Eligible to Receive Divorced Spouse's Benefits?
My ex and I were married for 22 years, and divorced we 10 years ago; I am 64 and he is 63. While I never remarried, he did so at age 62. Is he eligible to receive divorced spousal benefits on my record? I'm not sure he knows about this benefit, and I want to inform him if he is eligible. I intend to file a restricted application for my divorced spousal benefits at my FRA.
Lissa,
He is not eligible for divorced spouse's benefits since he is remarried.
Best,
Mike
