No, unless the retiree took out the Survior Benefit option on retirement, then the spouse would get 1/2 of the military retirees monthly benefit.
A spouse receives one-half of the retired worker's full benefit unless the spouse begins collecting benefits before full retirement age. In that case, the amount of the spouse's benefit is reduced by a percentage based on the number of months before he/she reaches full retirement age.For example, based on the full retirement age of 66, if a spouse begins collecting benefits:At 65, the benefit amount would be about 46 percent of the retired worker's full benefit;At age 64, it would be about 42 percent;At age 63, 37.5 percent; andAt age 62, 35 percent.However, if a spouse is taking care of a child who is either under age 16 or disabled and receiving Social Security benefits, a spouse gets full (one-half) benefits, regardless of age.If you are eligible for both your own retirement benefit and for benefits as a spouse, we always pay your own benefit first. If your benefit as a spouse is higher than your retirement benefit, you'll receive a combination of benefits equaling the higher spouse's benefit.Click on the below Related Link
No. Your spouse can receive them and you can receive them, but you have no right to theirs.
well you seem as if you are a killer. predecease.WOW
None, Social Security only provides a "Survivor" benefit to your spouse.
Yes. Each spouse receives his or her own benefit check/deposit, calculated from his or her own work record (or up to 50% of the spouse's benefit if one person hasn't earned sufficient work credits).
If one spouse moves out the remaining spouse may benefit from having the house all to him/her self, either to enjoy the privacy or to have wild parties on the weekends, one never knows.
There is only one kind of marriage in Canada and it is open to everyone. If an opposite-sex spouse can get the benefit, then a same-sex spouse can get it too.
The basic assumption is that yes, the spouse is jointly responsible. It is assumed that both spouses will benefit from the transactions.
Gives a sense of belonging
If the spouses are still legally married, then all of the regular rules apply - there is no restriction for living in the same household. If eligible, spousal benefits can be payable to one spouse based on the other spouse's record. The other spouse must have filed for benefits to enable this spousal benefit to be received. If the spouses in question are divorced (therefore ex-spouses), as long as they were married for at least 10 years and the spouse who is planning to file for benefits on the other spouse's record has not remarried, this is allowed as well. The other spouse must be at least 62 years of age (doesn't have to file), and all other restrictions apply. In both cases, if the spouse who is filing for benefits on the other spouse's record is younger than Full Retirement Age (66 for those born between 1943-1954), then you must file for your own benefit in addition to the spousal benefit at the same time, and both will be reduced due to early filing. The maximum amount of spousal benefit is equal to 50% of the other spouse's benefit amount at his or her Full Retirement Age.
Yes. All of it.
