I can help you with this. Are you planning for your future?
No, I am planing for my wife Sally.
If Sally remarries after I die should she apply for my benefits?
Yes, she can.
What benefits will Sally get if we divorce before I die?
So she would be a surviving divorced spouse?
Yes, just trying to figure out her future without me.
Ok, I see. Sally would continue to receive the benefits after your death provided your marriage lasted 10 years or more.
I want to make sure that I plan for my family. How do I know if I have earned enough Social Security credits through my work?
