Of course. First, could you tell me if you are divorced?
Yes. In fact, I have been divorced from my former husband a year ago.
I understand. Did your marriage last 10 years or longer?
No, less. Much less. We've been together for a year, then we married and this lasted for another four years. A year ago, in July we had a big argument and in September last year we eventually divorced.
I see. Are you currently unmarried then?
Yes, I haven't remarried since then.
In that case you fulfill one of the requirements, but you still need to have been married for 10 years or longer to receive benefits.
I'd like to ask one more question about Benefits Planner. Do you have any resources or tools to help me better understand these advantages?
Sure. You can use our planners in order to better understand them. Plus, you can choose a calculator to get some estimates.
Going back about survivor benefits, all young workers have access to it, isn't?
That's correct. As said before, is thought to be a protection for those young families in a worst case scenario.
Thanks, just wanted to be sure. Say,there is other ways to apply for benefits?
Sure. you can use our information page.
Ok. Now lets suppose you can't process my request via online, what happens next?
