Yes, I can help you apply for benefits.
do I need to do something different when I apply because my husband is already getting benefits?
In that situation we will check your eligibility for benefits as a spouse. If you are qualified, your application will automatically serve as a request for spousal benefits
so I must qualify before getting married benefits?
If you qualify, your application will automatically serve as a request for spousal benefits.
does any of this mean that my husband's benefits will get smaller because I'm qualified and taking some of that for myself?
Your husband's retirement benefit will not decrease.
where can I look for more information on family members that may qualify for benefits?
Did you want links to other resources on benefits for the family?
yes I do, but only if they can qualify
Even if you do not qualify for benefits on someone else's record some members of your family may qualify for benefits on your record
what happens if I qualify with my husband but it is a lower benefit than I would have gotten on my own?
