Will My Divorced Spousal Benefits Reduce My Ex's Benefit Payments?

If I'm able to draw ss off x spouse after being married 21 yrs would it cut his ck he will be 66 this yr & I'm 62?



Hi,

No, if you become entitled to divorced spousal benefits it will have no effect on the benefit rate paid to your ex-husband, nor to any other beneficiaries eligible on his record.

Best, Jerry
