Spousal and Survivor Benefits: Are You Eligible?

Spousal Benefits: If you’re married or divorced (and the marriage lasted at least 10 years), you might be entitled to up to 50% of your spouse’s benefit – even if you’ve never worked. This applies even if your ex-spouse has remarried.
Survivor Benefits: Widows and widowers can receive benefits based on their deceased spouse’s earnings. Eligibility can begin as early as age 60 (or 50 if disabled). Even divorced spouses may qualify if the marriage lasted at least 10 years and they haven’t remarried before age 60.
