Usually not for that.

You only qualify for social security benefits if you earned wages for the work and both you and your employer payed into social security. On normal jobs your portion of this payment is taken automatically from your paycheck in a deduction called the FICA deduction.

Ref Divorce. Is division of 50 per cent retired pay to ex-spouse tax deductible for the retired military member on their tax return?

When the retirement benefits are paid out, the member and the former spouse will each receive a 1099-R for their share. That is the amount on which each will pay income tax. The member will not receive a 1099-R for 100% of the benefits paid, only for the 50% actually received. So, no, the assignment of the retirement benefits does not generate a deduction on the military member's tax return. The assigned benefits simply never appear there in the first place.
