No problem. I have to ask, are you or any member of your family in a qualifying state for benefits?
No, not right now, just asking about the topic.
O.K. in that case, do you want me to refer some sources for further information?
No, it's not necessary right now.
Although, in that regard, what can i use to get more information? Something like this?
You can use our toll free number at 1-800-772-1213. There you'll have total confidentiality.
Look, this may be a morbid question but, in the case my spouse, or ex-spouse, because i'm divorced, dies, Do i may be eligible for some benefit from you?
In fact, you can. If that scenario happens, you may be eligible for a higher survivor benefit based on her work. In case the deceased person is your ex-spouse, you may be eligible for a higher benefit even of you are already receiving a survivor benefit on another spouse.
Um, i see. Say, with this kind of benefits, i suppose there's a need to report changes our lives, are we?
That's correct. They key on this type of benefits is the most up to date information. As such, there are certain life events that you are required to report to us. For a complete list, see reference publications.
O.k, i'll take a look to that. Now, this number you said before, you said is toll free, right?
