Do you have a divorced spouse?
Yes, my ex-husband.
In the event that you pass away, your ex-husband could get the same amount of benefits as your widower. This only applies if your marriage lasted 10 years or more.
What if my ex-husband receives more in Social Security than my widower?
In this case, he would receive a combination of benefits that equal the amount.
What if my ex-husband is entitled to his own retirement benefits?
He can then switch to his own retirement benefit.
If my widower is receiving benefits from me, what happens when he reaches retirement age?
Once he reaches retirement, he can switch to his benefits at an unreduced rate.
What happens to their benefits if my widower or ex-husband remarries?
If they remarry before the age of 60 or age 50, if disabled, he/she is not entitled to surviving spouse benefits while they are married.
How much would my family receive after my passing?
