Will Applying For A Domestic Relationship Disqualify Me From Collecting My Deceased Ex-Spouse's Social Security?
Hi Larry, I'm thinking of applying for a domestic relationship with my boyfriend but I want to make sure doing so I it won't disqualify me from collecting my ex deceased spouse's social security. I'm 57
Thank you
Hi. Being in a non-marital relationship such as a domestic partnership won't prohibit you from qualifying for survivor benefits on the account of a former spouse.
Best, Jerry
