How do I know I am eligible for spousal Social Security benefits?

Criteria includes:

-you were married for at least one year

-you are at least 62

-you have been divorced for at least two years (but the marriage lasted more than 10)

-your working spouse will need to have already claimed benefits.

if you have a work history, you’ll receive either your benefit or the spousal benefit, whichever is greater.

Whether you’re married, divorced, or widowed — and your spouse is or was eligible for Social Security — advisors that are Registered Social Security Analysts® are ready to go to work for you. RSSA® advisors have the education and training provided by NARSSA (the National Association of Registered Social Security Analysts), to help you collect all of the spousal benefits you may be entitled to.
