To qualify for social security retirement benefits, you generally need to have worked and paid social security taxes for at least 10 years. The amount you receive is based on your earnings history and the age at which you start receiving benefits.

Can you draw your deceased spouses social security and pension if your remarry?

Whether or not you have worked during your lifetime and earned Social Security, you may qualify for benefits on a spouse's record. This is the case even if you are divorced or widowed.As with regular Social Security benefits, you will qualify beginning at age 62 (you may qualify earlier for survivor benefits, which is explained below). Typically, the amount you receive is reduced the earlier you start collecting before full retirement age. So when you and your spouse apply matters. Here's how it works.If You Do Not Qualify for Benefits on Your OwnIf you did not work enough in your life to qualify for Social Security benefits on your own, you could get one half of your spouse's full retirement benefit once you reach full retirement age, and you will qualify for your spouse's Medicare at age 65. This does not affect the amount your spouse receives.You can begin collecting spousal benefits at age 62, if your spouse has applied for benefits at that point.

Can you apply for social security disability if getting social security?

When people refer to "Social Security," they general mean retirement benefits. SSDI is Social Security Disability Insurance, which is paid from the same fund, but available only to disabled people who are below full retirement age.If you're asking whether you can receive both Social Security retirement and Social Security disability benefits, the answer is no. If you meet SSA guidelines for disability, you receive SSDI until you become ineligible or reach retirement age, whichever occurs first. If you remain on SSDI until retirement, your Social Security benefits automatically convert from disability to retirement. You can't receive both at the same time.If you're asking whether you can receive private disability insurance payments after you begin receiving Social Security disability or retirement benefits, that depends on the policy. Consult with your insurance agent or employer for more information.
