You can only collect on the life insurance if you were awarded this at time of divorce. I was awarded the ability to take out a life insurance policy on my ex. as I receive a military retirement which only exists if he is alive. After his death, it would stop, therefore I have the life insurance policy.
No. A spouse is not entitled to any retirement pay until it is earned by the reservist at age 60 years. That is assuming that the reservist applies for retirement pay; it may not be automatic.
No.
No, you do not have to be married to collect a retirement pension. Pension benefits are typically based on an individual's employment history and contributions to a pension plan, not marital status.
It is necessary that we know what you might register for after retirement. If you want to collect VA benefits, you'll have to file for them. Other than that, there really isn't anything to "register" for.
Your spouse cannot collect benefits from your work record until you are collecting your benefits, so if you do not collect until your full retirement age, she cannot collect anything either.
You cannot collect absolute retirement (meaning not returning to work) and unemployment benefits because the latter requires you to, among many things, continuously seek full time employment.
No ... retirement is much the same as a "voluntary quit". Usually in retirement one draws a pension or retirement income. Besides, in order to collect UI, one also has to actively seek employment at at least 3 places each week ... what is the sense then of being retired? This statement is not correct, military members are entitled to receive unemployment benefits once discharged, if they are in the coast guard like i am you are entitled to federal unemployment which is at a higher rate. If you want to find out more about your benefits contacts your local employment commission or visit your states website. As far as the retired members i am not sure but will find out and post it.
A divorcee can collect her ex husbands retirement pay following his death if it has been awarded during the divorce settlement. It is not automatic and relies on a number of factors.
