I don't think so but call ss office and ask they'll tell you
If the spouse was eligible in the first place you can, regardless if he was unemployed at the time.
yes
It depends on the wording of the alimony decree. Generally, the alimony and the Social Security are independent of one another.
If you and your spouse have been married for at least 10 years, she will be eligible for a Survivor Social Security Benefit monthly check if you are deceased, and if she is age 62. But if she is disabled, she may qualify to draw it at an earlier age. You can phone your social security office or go online to be sure though, which I recommend.
As the spouse, you may be eligible to receive up to 50% of your spouse's Social Security benefits if you file at your full retirement age (typically between 66 and 67). If you choose to file at age 62, your benefit amount may be reduced. It's important to consult with the Social Security Administration for specific details based on your individual situation.
You can only draw Social Security benefits at age 55 if you are disabled.
If you were married at least 10 years and the spouse has not remarried, then he/she would receive the standard 50% share from your social security pension. It does not lower your payments however. Parenthetically, you can remarry and get divorced numerous times, and the spouse will each get 50% share (assuming that they were each married for minimum 10 years)
No, your benefits will not decrease, nor will the benefits of anyone else who may be entitled to draw Social Security against your work record (a current spouse, minor children, etc.)
Benefits for a divorced spouse Your divorced spouse can get benefits on your Social Security record if the marriage lasted at least 10 years. Your divorced spouse must be 62 or older and unmarried.You should contact the social security administration to verify this information. Go to the SSA gov website social security benefits online and use the search boxOr you can call 1-800-772-1213. Or you can make an appointment to visit any Social Security office to apply in person.
Basically, you draw benefits based on the highest possibility. So, if you would die first, depending on if your benefit or her benefit would be higher, the payments would be based on that one. They give you the higher of the two.
You can draw both unemployment and Social Security in all 50 states.
Social security benefits cannot be drawn from an ex-husband unless the court authorizes a pension plan to be paid to a former spouse. When the spouse got married a second time, the benefits from the first ex-husband should have stopped unless there are minor children involved.
