When Can I Start Collecting Off Of My Ex-Husband?
I am going on 60 years old next month and I get SSI disability when can I start collecting off of my ex-husband I was married to him for 24 years
Hi,
If your ex-husband is living, the earliest that you could qualify for divorced spousal benefits is at age 62. You would also need to meet the other requirements for entitlement: https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.03/handbook-0311.html.
If your ex-husband is deceased, you may already qualify for disabled surviving divorced spousal benefits provided that you meet the requirements for those benefits: https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.04/handbook-0403.html.
Best, Jerry
