Welcome to the Event, RichardR3!
You are eligible to collect spousal benefits on a living former spouse's earning record as long as:
- The marriage lasted at least 10 years.
- You have not remarried.
- You are at least 62 years of age.
- Your ex-spouse is entitled to collect Social Security retirement or disability benefits.
Your former spouse doesn't need to be collecting her retirement benefits for you to claim ex-spousal benefits.
(In this case the divorce must be at least two years old.)
